Soup Nazi's Mulligatawny Soup

If you've ever seen Seinfeld, then odds are you remember the episode where Kramer gets a craving for mulligatawny soup from the best soup place in New York - the Soup Nazi. That character was based on Al Yeganeh, a soup vendor who ran a food stand called Soup Kitchen International in New York City that the Seinfeld frequented. Thankfully you don't have to stand in line to make this soup at home.

Don't let the long list of ingredients intimidate you. Just put everything in a big pot, bring to boil, and savor the incredible smell that will fill your house over the next few hours. Double the recipe to make 'more soup for you!'

Serving Size: 330g (about 37g carbs)

* Multiply serving weight in grams by the carbs-per-gram ratio to calculate the total estimated carbs.

6 cups low-sodium chicken stock
550g / 3 medium potatoes, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
454g / 1 medium eggplant, peeled and diced
134g / 1 cup frozen yellow corn
124g / ½ cup tomato sauce
58g / ½ cup shelled pistachios
56g / ½ cup roasted cashews
½ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
¼ cup lemon juice
4 tablespoons butter
28g / 3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf
Combine all ingredients in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
16 cups (4 quarts) water
If you have a large enough pot, add all of the water. If your pot is not large enough (and most aren't), add whatever you can until there is about three inches of empty space on the pot for the soup to boil. Add any remaining water as the soup reduces. I highly recommend writing down how much you've added on a piece of scrap paper as you go so that you don't forget.
Reduce heat to medium and boil for 2 to 3 hours until soup has reduced significantly. Stir occasionally in the first few hours and frequently during the last hour. The edges of the potatoes will become rounded and the nuts will become soft and chewy. The soup will thicken and should have the consistency of chili.
Remove bay leaf. Serve hot. Keeps for up to a week in the fridge.
