  Delicious. Perfect for lunch on a cold day. Did not enjoy the grating but will make this one again.

  Really really tasty - I agree with barney123 no need for all the grating, especially if the final product is being blended. I chopped the majority of ingredients and it still worked out well. Even my fussy 18month old enjoyed it. Def make again.

  This is lovely, i also agree there is no need for all the grating. In the end i only grated the apple, and the ginger and cut the potato into rounds about 1-1/2cm thick, as the soup is simmered the ingredients soften anyway and then it is blended so no need to go to all that trouble, plus i was dreading grating the onion, this i sliced thinly. I made this as my fella has this dreaded swine flu so wanted to give him some nice and healthy home comfort food. I will definitely be making this again.

  Perfect soup. Great taste and texture. No need to grate - just cut into small pieces. Full of healthy ingredients.

  Really tasty though I might add less stock next time as the blended soup as just a tad too thin for my liking. Will definitely make again.

  Very tasty soup. Didn't do any of the grating, just finely chopped everything and then blended. Will definitely make again.

  Made this soup for my husband who has a bad cold. Didn't quite have enough sweet potato so used some pumpkin as well. I didn't grate, just chopped. We both really enjoyed this soup and I would definitely make it again.

  Really tasty, my husband says this is the best of my soups that he has tasted. Coming from him, this is a big compliment. It's pretty good for you, too. I did all the grating, but now having read the other comments, I shall be chopping next time!

  I also just chopped instead of grated. Added slightly more curry powder. Very warming!

  Absolutely delicious! I also just chopped ingredients which is fine when it's cooked. As I need this soup to be as fat free as possible, I replaced the olive oil with Fry Light spray and left out the milk which can be replaced with water if you need more liquid. This is definitely a new favourite!
