Gayby Gay Cook

This soup was created during the time the British occupied India between 1858 and 1947. Milder spices along with apple gave it a Western touch. The soup was carried in flasks to the hills by the British army offices to keep warm served with cooked rice. It is your choice to serve the soup with rice.
