  Really delicious even though I forgot to put the extra onions on as I had frozen the soup. I will definitely make this again.

  Bloody delicious! I used swede instead of potato, i guess any root veg would work, and left out the fresh coriander because i think it detracted away from the taste of the veg. And very very easy. Definetly having that again

  Excellent soup. The fried onions and coriander on top greatly enhance the recipe. A large bowl makes a filling meal. My kids loved it and said I could make this anytime!

  Seriously good soup! I used a small pumpkin/squash, 1 leek, 1 parsnip, along with recommended ingredients, and low fat yoghurt. Added extra stock as soup was very thick. Made 6 good portions. Didn't bother with topping.

  This soup was delicious. I couldn't find mustard seeds;I live in Singapore so sometimes have to swap ingredients for what I can find, and I used sweet potatos but it still tasted great. My Husband gave it 9/10! Will definately be making this one again.

  Lovely, warming soup. I didn't have mustard or cumin seeds - just used ground cumin but it was still very yummy. I didn't do the fried onions either, but the coriander on top definitely made a difference.

  Really tasty soup. Used ground cumin and coriander instead of the cumin and mustard seeds but still worked really well. Served it just with fresh coriander and yogurt on top and mini naan breads on the side. It was quite salty so may use less curry paste next time.

  My first ever soup recipe and even though I didn't have the mustard or cumin I did add garlic, sweet potato & swede I found lurking in the fridge. It was rib stickingly wonderful & even veggie phobic daughter (I didn't tell her what was in it!) ate the lot and asked for the leftovers to be kept for her lunch tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe.

  Sorry to go against popular opinion but to me and my boyfriend the yoghurt just overpowered everything else! It was nice enough once we'd added a load of extra onions, ground cumin and chilli powder but I won't be making again.

  Delicious soup! was a hit at a dinner-party with friends. I like to give it an extra slightly sharp taste adding a pinch of chilli flakes :-) lekker!

  Made this for my fiancee, he loved it and even says it is better than his mothers vegetable soup (a big compliment indeed!) i didnt bother with the fried onions and usually add some chilli to give it a kick.

  I didn't have any cumin seeds so used cumin powder. Also curry powder istead of curry paste. Didn't have any yoghurt either but I'm sure it would have been nice. I didn't bother with the crisp fried onions on top ~ in any case the recipe doesn't mention how they should become spiced. I also added salt and pepper to improve the flavour. But it was dead easy and quick to make and I will definitely be making it again and again. I found it easlily served 6 as a starter.

  DELICIOUS! This is a lovely, hearty and filling soup and a great way to get loads of veg into one bowl. I'll definitely be adding this one to my bonder and making it more often. Serves 6 rather than 4, which meant I had leftovers :)

  I made this last night for my lunches this week. I used sweet potatoes and bloomin' forgot to put the carrots in but to be honest it wasn't really missing them when I tasted it, it wasn't till later that I realised. I roasted some chopped red onion for the topping as I've done that before and its really tasty. I didn't add the yog to the soup as I didn't think it needed it - I'll just add some yog as the topping. It definitely needs seasoning at the end to bring out all the flavours too, but its a tasty version of a veg soup once done.
