Categories: Soups, Vegetarian
Yield: 5 Servings

1/2 c Dried chick peas
1 md Onion, chopped
2 tb Ghee
1 Red chili, whole
1 pn Cayenne pepper
1 ts Turmeric
1 tb Coriander
4 c Stock
1 Salt to taste

2 tb Lemon juice
2 ts Cilantro/parsley

Soak, rinse & cook chick peas. Cook for 45-60 minutes till soft, depending
on age of the peas.

In a soup pot, saute the onions in the ghee for 5 minutes. Add chili,
cayenne, turmeric & coriander. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring. Add the
stock & the vegetables. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the coconut,
coconut milk, chick peas & cook for a further 5 minutes.

Remove from heat & let cool for a few minutes. Blend well. Return to pot &
add lemon juice & cilantro. The longer this soup sits, the better its
flavour. Re-heat gently & serve.

There are many variations on Mulligatawny Soup. This is mine that omits
the traditional chicken stock but adds the occasionally used chick peas.
