Aatu Kaal Soup, Lamb Shank Soup

I was down with the flu and remembered my childhood days when dad used to get hot and spicy aatu kaal soup from the market. Ah.. Dad is in Neyveli, no where nearby and I haven't had good mutton soup in any of the US resturants :( . My friend Uma came to my rescue and gave me her recipe. And oh..boy..was it good.. It tasted so wonderful and soothing to the throat in this cold Albuquerque weather. I kept drinking it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
