When I created this soup at the last minute for an impromptu ice skating party, it was a hit. This is a good solid meal in and of itself. Just serve it with a crusty loaf of bread and you'll be warm inside and out.

This was fantastic! I was trying to find something to cook with my left over cauliflower from a veggie tray and this was perfect. All other ingredients are staple items so I didn't need to buy anything special. My husband ate three helpings!!

Super, my whole family loved it. I used fenugreek instead of the curry, and it was still fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

Very good soup, I roasted the cauliflower and added a box of frozen spinach to the soup. I left the seasonings the same and it had a very good flavor overall...will make again with my modifications.

It was really tasty to me.

I give it a 5

This was really great. We used only 2 cups of milk, and it turned out wonderful. One of the top 5 things I've made, according to my husband, so definitely a keeper!
