  1. Second time I have made this. Wonderful, Yummy, healthy + very budget Friendly. I freeze into portions for work. Thank you !!<br/>ps. I don't add sour cream..doesn't need it, if you find it runny, cook on low stir occasionally for hour + it will thicken right up
     
  2. This soup is amazing. We didn't have the spice on hand so we added 1 1/2 teaspoon of massaman curry paste instead (it had many of the same spices). We also added a can of coconut milk, as someone suggested, and that made it all the more rich. A beautiful soup I plan to make again for Christmas Day.
     
  3. This is a really nice winter soup. I ran the onion through the food processor and then sauteed with fresh garlic. I also ran the cauliflower, squash and the apple pulsing until they were small chunks. The soup smelled just wonderful while it simmered on the stove. I ran the finished soup through the food processor and the result was a beautiful orange creamy soup. The garam masala gave an interesting flavor to the soup that seemed out of place until I added the sour cream. I would make this soup again. Next time I would try freshly grated nutmeg instead of the garam masala. Thanks DiWriter!
     
  4. Awesome flavor! The garam masala really makes this soup great. I liked the spicy soup with the cool sour cream. I didn't make any changes and I thought it was perfect just as written. Thanx for sharing this. I'll be making this again.
     
  5. Like Carianne, I added addtional seasonings and quickly overboard. In my case, I added some fresh minced ginger. The initial amount was about 1/4 teaspoon which gave the soup a little peppery flavor. Made the mistake of adding more which was too much for a soup that otherwise has delicate and subtle flavors. My other suggestion is that even if you have a stick blender, toss it in the food processor or blender anyway and let it whirl - you'll be much happier with the final consistency. Delicious Soup Di. Thanks.
