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

    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.

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

    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!

    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

    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

    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

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

    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.
