I whipped up this satisfying soup last Thanksgiving for my family, and everyone was crazy about it! Even my brother, who is one of the pickiest eaters I know, asked for seconds. -Kimberly Knepper, Euless, Texas

My husband and I really liked this soup, but it was not for the toddlers' taste. I used the full 1tsp. of curry. I'd use a little less next time. I also food processed the onion and mushrooms to finer bits and then cooked them as directed. In the end I still did not like the chunks (even the tiny ones) so I'd blend it before serving the next time we make it. We made it for "Pumpkin Day" lunch as one of our alternative activities in lieu of Halloween. Yummy!

My hubby and I loved this flavorful soup. I didn't have any curry pwd. on hand so I exchanged it with paprika. I also added freshly minced garlic and used chicken broth instead of veggie broth. It was very delicious - perfect for a cold fall day!

My husband also doesn't like mushrooms and this soup is just as good without them. Also, because I love curry, I use a heaping tsp of it and I also use maple syrup instead of honey. That happened by accident when I didn't have any honey in the house.

Enjoy.

My husband doesn't like mushrooms and was skeptical about this soup when he saw me preparing it. Well, he absolutely loved it. He had two big bowls. It tastes absolutely superb.

I have served this soup at three formal Holiday dinners and have had rave reviews. It is the perfect winter soup.

This soup was very good - I used about 3/4 lb. of mushrooms instead of 1/2 lb. I was skimpy with the curry (1/2 tsp) but next time will add more.
