"Memories are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It is best not to stir them." -P. G. Wodehouse, British Author
This is another good example of not judging a dish by its recipe. When I first read a mulligatawny recipe I couldn't see that it would taste good. Man, was I wrong.
There is a perfect blend of ingredients here: great veggies, turkey, apples, and tomatoes all together in a curried chicken broth. The key to this soup is to not overheat it or it will become cloudy and the apples will lose too much of their crispness. You want to just heat the apples through until they are hot but still with a bit of crunch.
This is a perfect recipe for using your leftover turkey from a holiday meal. Personally, I would not make this with a deli style turkey – use the real thing. It is worth the effort to cook a turkey breast and plan for this soup as one of the leftover recipes.
