Meatless Mondays with Martha Stewart - Root Vegetable Mulligatawny


It’s week 2! I hope this finds all you detox-ers out there feeling like superheroes because, well, you are.  I am totally overwhelmed with the response from the last post to see just how many of you are actually participating in the cleanse right now, and the number who are planning to give it a go in the coming weeks!  It truly warms the cockles of my detoxed heart.

Now that we’re introducing lean proteins back into our meals, we will be able to fully indulge in this scrumptious Root Vegetable Mulligatawny. And if you’re a Seinfeld fan, you will be familiar with this dish from the infamous Soup Nazi – it’s admittedly the first time I heard about Mulligatawny. Who says we can’t learn anything valuable from pop culture? That episode successfully infused me with a deep curiosity for this rich, Anglo-Indian soup, and has inspired many a dinner since.

I love this soup because it is versatile (there really isn’t “one” defined recipe for it, so you can customize it to suit your tastes), it is incredibly filling, easy and inexpensive to make. My version uses seasonal root veggies and the traditional red lentils, all bobbing around in a golden coconut broth. It’s like eating a hug – which I figured you all deserve right about now. 

Good work on the cleanse, my friends! 
Now go make some soup. Recipe here.

Hugs, Sarah B
