“The soup was delicious. Me and my mulligatawny are going to be friends for years to come….The soup itself is served in bowls over some cooked rice. If you are in the mood for more of a curry than a soup, use more rice. If you are in the mood for soupy, then add just a bit of rice. Each person can customize their own—and you know, on-the-spot soup customization options are hard to come by.”
