Mulligatawny Soup. No. 5. Thick. (Isa. Emslie. 1886.)
Two scrags of mutton, 1 rabbit-jointed, all uncooked; any raw beef trimmings improve it. If the scrags are not fat, you must butter the sides and bottom of the cooking pot; fry the meat uncovered (no water); snake the cooking pot from time to time.
Then add 2 qts. of cold water, cover, and simmer 5 or 6 hours; then strain.
Mince many onions and 3 apples, and fry them in a little butter till soft; mix in a teaspoonful of curry powder and a tablespoonful of fine four, a little salt, and a teaspoonful of white sugar; then add the stock and let it boil up; draw aside to simmer on the side of the fire 1, hour, covered; put the soup through a sieve and put it back to get hot; see the tureen is very hot before you pour in the soup.
This is better without cream, but it may be added warmed at the last.
