  1. This is my new favourite soup! I could eat this everyday. I make this with vegetable broth, and coconut milk. It makes this soup vegan friendly, gluten and dairy free. Since I've been eliminating dairy from my diet, this is a great treat for me. It tastes very creamy and delicious!
     
  2. This was a real hit! I made it at home, loved it, and made it for a soup and salad potluck. It got raves and I got requests for the recipe from at least 4 people. Now I've been asked to make it again for this weekend. The changes I made were to use low sodium vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, omitted the salt, and used canned coconut milk instead of yogurt. The coconut milk gives it a great texture and wonderful flavor!
     
  3. If you change the chicken broth to vegetable broth then this recipe can be called vegetarian.
     
  4. Very good, my husband (who thinks a meal without meat is a punishment) LOVED it. Interesting flavors, easy to make. We will definitely make again!
     
  5. Very good soup. Quite easy if you have broth already available. I added a bit of ginger but otherwise followed recipe. Very healthy lunch with a tossed salad!

  1. Just made this and my husband and I both loved it; the color is lovely and the flavor divine. Used the coconut milk, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, double the curry, a little garlic, a dash of cumin and some chili powder, and half the salt. Substituted the vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Sprinkled toasted coconut on top as a finishing touch. Plan to serve this in demitasse cups as an appetizer at Thanksgiving. Thank you for a great recipe, and thanks to the reviewers for their helpful suggestions.

I am a frequent recipe changer, so hopefully these will stay somewhat true to character!
