I was in the mood for soup, and decided to try this simple recipe I
had saved. It was not only good it was positively awesome! Hubby
loved it so much he went back for a second big bowl full and told me
to PLEASE make that one again!


MULLIGATAWNY (CHICKEN) SOUP

1 c. diced onion

1 c. diced celery

*********************


(I used one quart of my home made chicken broth and two cups of water
with one Knorr chicken bouillion cube for the rest of the broth)

This was so incredibly simple and so good you can't believe it.

The only thing I might do differently is use a tad more Curry powder,
since we both like it.
