Gr8 soup! Have tried many variations and this was one of my favourite. Must admit though, I replaced yoghurt for cream. . . .Thank you fellow South African! -
I was apprehensive about curry and yogurt AND Brandy in one dish but this soup is Delicious! My husband loved it and has declared it his new favourite! I served the sautéed mushrooms separately for the fungi phobic members of the family and found the portion I had without the mushrooms was nicer than the one with mushrooms! -
This is a guest soup, I loved it and I loved discovering it! I can't wait to serve this to family and friends. The taste is wonderful, not to sweet like some recipes that include pears or apples. I loved the mushrooms and onions not being blended because it added a wonderful texture as well as additional flavors while enjoying this soup. Thanks so much for the post, this will be enjoyed by many. -
My husband loves this soup and periodically purchases butternut squash so that I would prepare it.
