(Acton 1845, Mrs.B, etc.) Known in England at least since 'The Sporting Magazine' of 1798; "I supped ... in his house on Mulagatoney or pepper-water." (OED) The name Mulligatawny is from the Tamil language of South East India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia, meaning 'pepper water', though spiced soup in those regions is more commonly called 'rasam'. The original dish was entirely vegetable, usually based on lentils, but the name is now given to variants based on chicken or beef.
