I regret that I've never tasted His Excellency Salaamallah's mustard
soup, but it does appear to have quite a wide reputation. The only
mustard soup I can think of, offhand, from a primary source, is in le
Viandier de Taillevent. He's got a recipe for egg sops, with a similar
recipe for mustard sops, as a sort of partner to it. I don't recall if
the mustard sops is a variation on the egg sops, or if it is intended
that they be served together.

Are poached eggs, or, for that matter, eggs in any form, involved in the
mustard soup you know? This might provide a clue as to whether this soup
has some basis in the Viandier's recipe. 

Maybe a query on the EK list might get us somewhere. Perhaps someone
from Barony Beyond the Mountain might have a recipe for this.
