Okay, it's from the BBC, but I love this table because it does meat and fish as well as fruits and vegetables.

Mulligatawny Soup

Emeril always comes through for me!  This was delicious.  I cooked it on the stove at lunchtime, and then transferred to a 220 deg oven until dinner (5-6 hours).  


Leave out the lentils and potatoes to make it more paleo.
