Sniff, sniff. I got blasted with a "back to school" cold. So today for dinner I'm having mulligatawny soup, and sharing with you.
This recipie is from The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook (my moms a big Harry Potter fan)

      (serves 6)

2T vegetable oil
4 chicken thighs (we used 6)

2 sliced carrots
2 finely chopped celery ribs
6c water
1 corred,peeled, and diced granny smith apple(we subbed whatever we had)
1T curry
1T salt
1/2t black pepper
2c rice

Sear the chicken on high heat till golden and crispy (4 min each side).
Pour off all but 2T fat and add onion carrots and celery sauteing untill onions are soft(3-5 min). Add watter apple curry and pepper. Add chicken thighs back to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 30-45 min. Remove the ckicken from the pot, discard skin(if aplicable) and bones, and cut into bite-size peices. Return to pot. Skim fat off serface of soup. Add rice 

Yuummmm. There's nothing like soup on a fall day, and it satisfied my cold induced need for chicken noodle soup.

The best part? This bowl has only 200 calories in it and half your daily  vitamin A requirements). That's right. A big ass bowl of soup without the big-ass.
