If you love eating Indian food at restaurants or at home, you know just how warming and exciting good Indian food can be.
Featuring lots of delicious vegetables, here’s a zesty and infinitely adaptable recipe for homestyle Mulligatawny Indian Soup from the folks at Eliza Domestica.
Want to make it vegan and vegetarian friendly? Just substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth in the recipe. Need to lower the fat content? Use low fat coconut milk instead of the full fat version.
Enjoy!

2 teaspoons fresh garlic, grated
5 garlic cloves, minced
