This lively chicken soup originated in southern India. Mulligatawny–-literally "pepper water"–-is an appropriate name because of its highly seasoned broth. Curry powder, one of the main seasonings, is actually a blend of up to twenty spices. Start by adding only a small amount to the soup if you are unfamiliar with its flavor.
