Spicy peppery mulligatawny soup made with fresh tomatoes and cilantro spiked with spices is comfort food to me ! When my Sunday Supper team decided to do a ” Dishes That Keep You Warm” theme, I knew just the dish I wanted to make. Mulligatawny soup, a popular soup with the ‘ Soup Nazi” in Seinfeld ( a show I still love to watch) is a favorite in my family. Also called rasam , it is a soup I grew up on. Every time anyone had a cold or was feeling under the weather, my mom would make rasam and it conjured up a warm soothing feeling that somehow made the fever or cold seem so much better. No wonder I chose to make mulligatawny soup or rasam as a dish that keeps me warm! Well, the tradition still continues in my little family as well. Every time my husband goes on trip out-of-town, the first thing he wants to eat when he gets home is rasam. My kids have grown to love it too and will often ask for it. Fortunately, it’s easy to make and can be thrown together in a few minutes. Traditionally rasam is eaten with rice and when you pour that light aromatic soup over hot cooked rice it is warm comfort food indeed. When you want to drink it as a soup, you can thin it down if you feel it’s too strong. It has digestive healing spices like pepper, cumin and garlic in it which make it a very healthy almost herbal soup with healing properties.
A delicious vegetarian version comes from one of my favorite places, the Moosewood Collective. One of the things I like about it is the use of coconut milk instead of half-and-half that some recipes call for. The addition of grated coconut gives even more richness. There is a range of textures that comes from vegetables being added at separate stages. Final garnishes of fresh lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro make the soup sparkle.

Coconut was once considered unhealthy among westerners because of a high saturated fat content. Now, it’s gaining a deserved reputation its health benefits.Coconut contains medium chain fats. These are healthy fats that provide a range of benefits, including protection against osteoporosis, reducing inflammation, and improving digestion and bowel function. Coconut has provided nutrition for generations of people around the world.Mulligatawny soup is easy to make and like most soups, benefits from sitting overnight. It is a great make ahead dish when you’re having friends over. A medium soup pot is the only cooking vessel needed.

Cooking occurs in stages. Some of the vegetables are sautéed. Broth is added and the next set of vegetables is simmered until tender. The final vegetables are then added towards the end to keep their crispness. The soup makes part of a delicious menu when paired with tomato fish curry, Bengali spinach, and saffron rice.

Kathy and I especially enjoy a bowl of mulligatawny after our afternoon yoga practice. The smell of coconut and the sound of laughter as we say the name again and again make a real treat.
