This is the easiest soup to make. I was worried about the beige colour others spoke of but mine turned out okay. I used a red harissa. Ate with naan bread and it was super filling. I have frozen the leftovers and I'm going to try using it as a sauce for a healthy chicken curry. I think this will work. Can't seem to rate the recipe but would give it a 4 if I could.

Nice soup but found the harissa paste overpowering. Would make it again but next time willdefinitely halve the quantity of harissa

I would give this 5 stars (not sure if I managed this on the star system!). This is based on a taste : ease ratio!

This is ridiculously easy, and very tasty for a change. If the cauliflower isn't large enough, it is a little watery : I add a little couscous to thicken it up. The almonds give it a lovely rich taste. The heat depends on the brand of harrissa paste.

A firm favourite in our house

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! And the flaked almonds at the end really do at to the texture of the dish!

Truly excellent. I didn't have fresh, so used frozen cauliflower.

Hi all
Could any please tell me what is harrisa

Thank you

Very nice, reminded me of a satay taste. Didn't look too appetising but the taste definitely made up for it. Added about 40g dried green lentils at the beginning for extra thickness

Delicious - especially given it's so easy. You don't even have to fry any onions : genius!!! New favourite in our house

Cauliflower is one of my least favourite vegetables, but I had a spare one to use up from the sunday roast, and gave this a go. Although the beige colour of the blended soup is quite unappealing, I really liked the combination of spices, and the almonds seemed to create a creamy consistency. I used 2 tbsps of harissa and like the spice/heat. I froze some and reheated - It doesn't smell great when reheated, but it does taste good still

I used Cayenne Pepper at the end, when seasoning,since I had no Harissa, but it turned out spicy enough. It's a nice soup,the only drawback being the greyish colour. Apart from that, all good!

I used 2tsp of chipotle paste and omitted the cumin and was very nice. Might add an onion and garlic next time.

I added extra water as it was too thick. It had a strong taste of almonds, which I was not keen on. Next time I will reduce the amount of almonds. Overall, it was nice and a hit with all the family. I will certainly make it again.

I adore this soup! Great recipe. So simple and cost effective. I am having vegan friends over tomorrow and am making it for their starter with nice crusty bread.

Amazing recipe - I've made this many times and turns out delicious each time! So filling, goes well with cheese.

I used curry paste instead of harissa paste and had curried cauliflower and almond soup. Also nice.

I used the 2 tablepoons of harissa and the soup was far too spicy for me .Even my husband who likes hot curries had to put some yoghurt in to eat it. If I made this again I would use 2 teaspoons intead of 2 tablespoons of the harissa [presumably depends on the make]. The other comment I have is that it left a very strong unpleasant smell around the house and everyone complained about the smell when I heated it up in our staffroom!!

Fabulous recipe!! I think it's un-mess-up-able! I have fogotten to add the cinnamon, cumin and coriander until just before blending once and it made no difference to the delicious outcome! Love it!

It wasn't bad, but my husband and I were not too sure about the consistency which in our case turned out a bit too grainy and thick. Also agree with Saz who said that the spices overwhelm the cauliflower. Colour a bit off putting too! Won't be making this again.

Lovely thick warming soup, fed 3 of us at lunch including 2 fussy girls.

I absolutely Loved this soup. Thought the almonds gave the soup a great texture. I didn't find it fed 4 - more like 2. Will double next time.
