Turkey Mulligatawny Soup
My mom used to make Mulligatawny Soup a few days after Thanksgiving each year once we were tired of eating turkey sandwiches. It’s a soup with Indian origins that is slightly spicy, hearty and perfect for winter. It’s a fantastic way to use up leftover turkey, but diced chicken (either breasts or thighs) would also work. It freezes well too, so if you have lots of turkey, double the recipe and freeze some for easy weeknight dinners.
If you make this recipe let me know in the comment section below, I would love to hear what you think or take a photo and tag me (@everylastbite_) on Instagram, I love seeing your photos!

This soup was super easy to make and absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely make this one again!
perfect for Thanksgiving leftovers. Simple to make and the spices make it SO tasty!
This was so delicious and easy to make! I was worried about the amount of cauliflower, because I don’t typically care for cauliflower, but, OH MY! This was so wonderful!!!! The cauliflower absorbs the seasonings and takes on a while new flavor profile! I made it for my family and extended family with the leftovers from Thanksgiving, and they all are raving about it. Already I’m sharing your recipe with all of them! So hearty too! Thank you for sharing this, it is bound to be a new tradition in our household!
