Mulligatawny Soup
Parkhurst Dining Services
Homestead, Pa.
Due to an overwhelming demand for this dish, Jason Brust, Executive Chef and general manager of Parkhurst Dining Services at American Greeting decided to add the soup to the weekly menu. “We would have customers order quarts of it to go before we decided to serve it weekly,” Brust says. This dish features Indian flavor notes and can be served year-round.
