First let me say I hate spicy things and anything to do with them. Next, let me say it was amazing! I tailored it for two servings [which made enough for three people in our house] added a little more of each spice, and ate mine with some homemade french bread. Oh, so good!

Great soup with lots of flavour. I made a few changes out of necessity/preference: all homemade stock (no water) plus extra to make the soup thinner, ground cloves instead of cinnamon, no turmeric, about 1/4 tsp cumin seeds added, garlic added, and fresh ginger instead of ground. I served it over rice like a sauce and it was delicious!

Not bad but not thrilled. Weird because we like all the spices listed but they just didn't seem to blend well.

This soup is so delicious! I dont add the red pepper flakes and I double the amount of carrots and sweet potatos but keep the spice measurement the same. I have children and originally reduced the spice for them but I really like it this way. I normally eat very spicy food. I just think the reduction in spices to veggie ratio tastes better.

I substituted all the liquid called for, water and chicken stock for vegetable broth. I also used approx. 1 and 1/2 boxes (32 ounces a box) of veggie broth. Excellent!

Great soup! I left out the cardamom because I didn't have it. I also used another cup of chicken broth and I'm glad I did - it was nice a thick, but would have been too thick without the extra broth.

I love love love this soup. It's become a go to for nights when I don't feel like cooking, or having a heavy meal. The recipe itself is great because if you play around with spice addition it still always tastes good (so far anyway!). In terms of modifications, I always use fresh ginger and add fresh garlic.

This soup was so totally awesome! It was like nothing I have ever tasted before but it satisfies every craving. Sweet, salty and spicy! I just added extra crushed red pepper to make it a little spicier. Thanks for this awesome find!
