  Liked the recipe, but not quite spicy enough for us, so we had too add more chiili powder and extra spices to the final blended mixture. Nevertheless a good filling soup ... lovely with hot bread!

  lovely warming winter soup with a creamy texture. I too got a bit carried away with the chilli - adding 2 chopped fresh red chillies - and it was much, much too hot! added yoghurt to calm it down which worked well. Not the most flavoursome soup in the world but will make again.

  An easy tasty recipe that is good as a chunky soup (with rice) as well as blended.

  Delicious! Nothing to add except to toast the seeds whilst you are waiting to blitz (use as a garnish and tasty snack)

  I have only recently started cooking soups and this was my first! We loved it and is now a regular for our evening meals :) A great tasting soup, as someone else mentioned I used a whole chilli but this is just purely for our taste.

  A wonderful spicy soup for a cold day - used other squash as well. Onion squash and crown prince are particularly good

  Gordon Bennett! I've just polished off a huge bowl of this with a sandwich for lunch! Can heartily recommend it, spicy, lovely. I didn't have any celery but it was fine all the same!!! Will definitely be doing this one again!!

  Delicious soup! Did change it slightly though. First, I sweated the onion on low heat until soft and only then did I add the garlic etc... Substituted sweet potatoes for the potatoes and omitted the carrots. Added a whole red chili, some cayenne pepper instead of chili powder and less stock, because I like my soups a bit thicker. It smelled SO great, and was nice and spicy. Definitely a keeper!
