    I added some cream as suggested by others and it was just lovely. Will definitely make it again, but try it with some coconut milk.

    I didn't have all the ingredients for this recipe so made it without the garlic, coriander and chili. I sauted one chopped red pepper at the beginning of the recipe with the onion. Perfect for those who don't like it spicy. Delicious!

    This soup is OK. Can't say it does a huge amount for me though. I have other better recipes for soup which I'd rather do.

    Excellent dish- not usually a soup fan but thought i'd try it out. I was suprisingly impressed, it was more like a curry sauce (which I love). I added about 1ltr of stock and about 650g of sweet potatos (because this was all I had) but it was still nice and thick. After I added the stock I simmered for about 20 mins as I live my veg supersoft and then put it in the blender. Didn't top with cheese, just a couple of corriander leaves. I'm a novice cook and this is a really easy dish, it won't serve four if you're using similar sized bowls to the ones shown, more like two, but it is really filling.

    beautiful, very filling, i've made this several times now and found that if your making your stock from cube knorr vegetable stock cube works especially well with this!

    I found doubling up the quantities on this didn't work as well, i managed to keep the consistancy the same but the flavour was altered! If anyone has any ideas they would be apprecited

    Followed the comments and left out the cheese. Used fresh chillies and fresh coriander. Also made mine slightly too spicy and added youghurt. A lovely thick soup, best enjoyed with thick homemade bread.

    Lovely soup, one of my favourites. Would agree that you need to add quite a bit more stock though.

    Recipe looked good but i found it much too sweet. Then I added a tin of tomatoes, tomato puree and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Went down a treat with the kids.

    I adore this soup. Hearty, warming and so easy to make. Perfect with a little grated cheddar on top and some warm rolls. Heaven!
