This is the first time I have ever had Mulligatawny soup so I'm not sure what it typically tastes like. I love Indian food and decided to make this recipe because it sounded intriguing. I followed the directions and added the spices as stated (as ground spices rather than whole). The overall result was delicious but this is probably not a recipe I will make again. I agree that it would taste MUCH better with whole spices that are toasted in oil and ground before adding. I also think I would reduce the amount of broth added to 5 or 6 cups.

Great recipe! I didn't have any black beans so I used a mixture of kidney and pinto beans. Instead of cooking it on a stove, I assembled all the ingredients (minus the tomatoes and vinegar) in a crockpot and left it on while I was at work. I mixed in the rest of the ingredients after the beans were cooked. I froze the leftovers and re-heated them later and they were still delicious. I think this will be even better next time when I actually use black beans!

I liked the idea of this recipe. I'm a big fan of a hearty oatmeal cookie full of chocolate, nuts, and whatever else. The cookies I made came out a bit dry but were good overall. I think next time I make it I will add more molasses and more chocolate chips. I made a batch for an office party and though they all disappeared, I have a feeling they weren't people's favorite dessert (but I guess you have to be a big nut/dried fruit fan to appreciate them!)
