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!

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.
