I've made this soup several times. It's absolutely gorgeous. The hint of Apple that comes through is just wonderful. I've also made it using butternut squash, and that works too. Have now tweaked the spices to suit myself, but there's no need to when you first make it. Would highly recommend it. - 24 Nov 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
I didn't use the apple, seeds, curry powder, balsamic or soy sauce. I did add some chilli which gave it that extra zing! Lovely! - 18 Oct 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
