How to Make Mulligatawny Soup

When the chicken is done, chop it up, shredding it a bit. You can add it either before or after the spices and stock, just depending on when it's cool enough to handle. One method is to use one fork to hold the chicken breast and the other to shred it, which you can do even when it's fresh off the grill. In the interests of time, this might be the best method.

Next, if the cooking time for the lentils is nearly up, take a little spoonful, let it cool a tad and check to see if the lentils are cooked. If they aren't, then continue cooking them, checking them every 5 minutes.

When the lentils are done, stir in the chicken and coconut milk, stirring thoroughly. Let it cook another 5 minutes to get the chicken and coconut milk warm.

If you don't want a chunky soup, it's time to puree it. First remove the cinnamon stick! You can do this in batches in a tabletop blender, or you can use an immersion blender in the pot. If it's thicker than you like, add more chicken stock.

After it's pureed (or if you're leaving it chunky), stir in the lemon or lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Give it a final stir, and then ladle it into bowls. Top with almonds, more cilantro, yogurt, or even sliced banana.

National Homemade Soup Day

Celebrations of soup day may include activities such as office food drives for the local Soup Kitchen or a potluck dinner with a soup theme. Lesson plans for school groups can use a theme surrounding the Stone Soup story and discuss how pooling resources can make things better for all. A family meal of homemade soup can be enjoyed by allowing each family member to help in the preparation. Homemade soup can be served with a fresh bread, crackers or croutons to supplement the menu item or can be served as the appetizer before a main course. Homemade soup recipes can be prepared in booklets and passed on to the generations of the family to continue making the tasty meals for years to come.

How to Make Cherry Soup

Russian Zup iz Vishnya is very similar to the recipe above. Double the amount of cherries; substitute champagne for the wine; reduce the lemon juice to one tablespoon and add ¼ cup of orange juice. Add an extra clove and double the water and sugar. Boil half the cherries longer, until they are very soft. Puree and return to pot, adding reserved cherries and adding the champagne, juices, and orange zest and simmer for 10 more minutes. Cool. No egg is used in this recipe, and sour cream is used as a garnish at serving. The cherries themselves are so thick that no additional thickening is needed.www.soupsong.com/rcherry2.html

German-style Cherry Soup: In the German version, only half the cherry pits are crushed, but all are put into the spice bag. Black cherries are used, as well as lemon juice and lemon zest. The wine is a white, sweeter wine, and a couple of tablespoons of [[[brandy]] are added at the end. Sometimes German versions double the wine; sometimes instead of sour cream or yoghurt they use the creamy quark peculiar to Germany. The Swiss even add tiny chips of chocolate; and the Austrian version is closer to the German version than to the Hungarian, even though the country is closer to Hungary.www.recipezaar.com/Chilled-German-Black-Cherry-Soup-305147

Keeping ingredients on hand to top a hot bowl of soup can make the meal starter even more appetizing. When planning a potato soup meal for a group, plan to set the soup up similar to a potato bar, allowing guests to serve their soup and top it while still hot. Consider these potato soup toppers:

• Green Onions
• Bacon Bits
• Croutons
