No two ways about it - this soup is an absolutely fantastic combination of flavors. I adapted to my own taste by halving both the curry & cumin; also added fresh ginger and 1/2 cup fat free heavy cream (at the very end). I used the larger can of pumpkin & only one apple (which lent a nice, subtle sweetness). -
YUM! Love this! I did substitute garam masala for the curry powder, because that's what I had, and added a little bit of ginger just because I really like ginger. Otherwise, I stuck to the recipe. Fantastic! I will make this again. -
Great Soup! I took this recipe to a "soup cook-off" contest with friends. I used honeycrisp apples instead of macintosh and fresh pumpkin instead of pumkin puree. I precooked the pumpkin, brushing it with olive oil and cooking it for an hour at 400 degrees. I also added a 1/2 cup of no-fat half & half to the recipe. Everyone loved it and my soup won. Thanks! -
WOW! Great idea for leftover Hallowe'en pumpkins! I changed the recipe by using 2 tablespoons of Patak's Biryani curry paste instead of curry and cumin. I also saved time not finely slicing anything. It all goes into the blender anyway. One of the best soups I have ever made. Thanks Tonkcats!

My brother and I didn't enjoy it that much, so I added more curry powder, which he thought was just overwhelming. So neither of us were big fans, but I guess that's a matter of taste (even though I thought I'd like it). My boyfriend loved it, however, and wants to make it again. The five stars are from him.
