Mulligatawny with Lentils

Every winter I prepare this wonderful soup, and I am convinced that an important part of its distinctive flavor comes from the black mustard seeds--that I faithfully purchase from The Spice House. The recipe is from a cookbook called The Daily Soup Cookbook. As with most soups, this one is better the second day.

I made this for a chilly night dinner and added in some carrots. It makes a big pot for just two of us. Husband and I both scarfed it down and glad we have leftovers for tomorrow.

A dear friend made this soup for a gathering of friends, and it was the highlight of the meal. You’ll have to try it for a hands-down success.
