       Mulligatawny
       6 Tbs Butter
       2 Small Onions
       2 Medium Carrots
       2 Stalks Celery
       1 Green Pepper
       ½ cup Unsifted flour
       2 Tbs Curry Powder
       ½ tsp Nutmeg
       6 Cloves
       4 Sprigs Parsley
       2 quarts Chicken Broth
       2 tsp Salt
       ¼ tsp Black Pepper
       2 cups Chopped Tomatoes
       2 cups Cooked, Diced Chicken
       1 cup Heavy Cream
       2 cups Boiled Rice
       Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add onion, carrots, celery
       and green pepper and cook until onion is golden. Blend in flour
       and curry powder and nutmeg. Add cloves, parsley, broth, salt,
       pepper and tomatoes. Cover and simmer one hour.
       Strain broth and pick out cloves and parsley. Puree vegetables
       in a blender at low speed. Smooth puree into broth, return to
       heat and add chicken and cream. Heat while stirring five to ten
       minutes to blend flavors. Add rice, heat and stir two to three
       minutes longer, then serve.
       My interpretation / modifications:
       My “half-lite” version substitutes 1/3 cup nonfat milk for
       cream. Attempt at lite version (sub half & half) was too thin.
       Flavor is dependent on choice of curry.  I use Spice Island
       because that’s what my father-in-law used and I want this to
       taste like his soup.
       I don't add salt since Better than Bouillon is already pretty
       salty.
       I pour soup over rice when serving, so freezer portions aren’t
       all puffed out.
       I am heavy-handed with the chicken and pull it rather than dice.
       I sub turkey and turkey broth with our Thanksgiving leftovers.
       Using an immersion blender eliminates need to strain the solids,
       but finding the cloves is a challenge. I used a bouquet garni
       bag for a many years until the time I forgot to pick it out.
       Which was sad because you really can't eat cheesecloth.
