ButternutMulligatawny1

I know everyone is getting into the spirit of spring but I’m still stuck on winter foods.  It’s actually been strangely warm here.  Usually I watch on as other bloggers enjoy spring for at least a month or two before we really start getting spring like weather but this year has been so nice.  We did have, what I would describe as, a spring shower but with snow yesterday evening.  It was seriously snowing sideways.  And after it was done all the trees, blades of grass and even our house had snow sticking to only one side of it.  Weird.  But now it’s all melted and sunny and gorgeous out so I’m really not going to complain 🙂

I am still hung up on soup despite our warmer than usual weather though.  This particular soup is actually my moms idea.  She said she made a pot of butternut squash soup that she wasn’t really happy with so she decided to make it into a mulligatawny soup.  Well she let me try some of it shortly after I had my wisdom teeth out and it was literally the best thing I ate all that week.  So I knew I had to make my own.  And somehow it’s not as good as my moms, but still yummy enough to share with you.  She should really have a food blog of her own, she’s amazing 🙂

So as usual, this soup is vegetarian, but you can very easily add some chopped up chicken to this since there is usually chicken in mulligatawny soup.  It is very filling as it is though.

    I have always wanted to try this soup – looks so good! If it makes you feel any better on the first day of spring we had a major snow storm move through leaving us with another 8″ of snow!

    Ahhhh, I am in love with the next to last shot! Gorgeous!

    Is it sad that I had to Google “mulligatawny”? I had no idea what it was before, but NOW thanks to Wikipedia, I do! And now I want some of yours! It may be spring now, but Tennessee hasn’t gotten the memo…or maybe it got it and crumbled it up and threw it in the wastebasket, because last weekend was fantastic, but this week has been gloomy, rainy, and COLD! Ugh, so sick of winter weather!

    That looks delicious! I’m always looking for different soup recipes as it’s the only way I can get my toddler to eat vegetables and try different flavours, can’t wait to try this one. Thank you 🙂

    What a great way to salvage an unimpressive batch of butternut squash soup! I’ve made a few of those myself too and I wish I had thought of this. 🙂 It’s a little bit chilly here today and this would be a perfect lunch!
