  1. This was a very different dish for our house; however, it went over really well! DH was very apprehensive about this one but gave in and thought it was tasty, light, well balanced, and had subtle tasty flavors (tasty is his favorite word to describe food :) ). I was going to serve it with a couple slices of cauliflower on top but forgot when I was chopping them up so just threw a couple sauteed onions on there. Have to agree with Magpie Diner - the agave & vinegar really developed the flavor on this one. Thanks so much WICC!! Recipenap'd for Veggie Swap 23!
     
  2. This soup surprised my tastebuds when I first tried it. We omitted the rice wine vinegar, as my DH cannot stand anything that tastes vinegary. He loved it. I added in celery seeds, salt, pepper and used our leftover mashed curry potatoes from the night before. I might have also been a bit heavy handed with the garlic and left the skin on the apple. I will make again!
     
  3. This soup is fantastic! It is hearthy, thick and soo yummy! I loved the addition of the apple, it made the soup special without being very noticeable. The curry is a nice touch as is the vinegar. I left out the honey as my apple was of the sweet variety, but other than that stuck to your recipe and loved it!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper here with us, WICC!<br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #58 May 2013.
     
  4. This is a wonderful soup. I wasn't sure what to expect from a cauliflower soup, but curiosity overcame me, and am I glad it did! The flavors of the curry, apple, and the finishing touches of rice wine vinegar and honey blend wonderfully and really dress up the simple cauliflower. Like other reviewers, I used a Granny Smith. Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap 51
     
  5. This soup was very delicious! I also added celery when I was sauteeing the onions. I didn't have a granny smith, so used another apple and it was still great. I am glad it is lighter than other cauliflower soups that I looked at. I will definitely put this soup in my tried and truly good cookbook.<br/>Thanks a lot.

I'm a recipe junkie and collect way too many cookbooks. But when it's time to actually make something, I quickly turn to the internet... I started avoiding meat more than 20 years ago for environmental reasons. (It takes so many resources and the pollution risks of confinement operations are huge.) I've been vegan for years now and can report that the health benefits are also real. I really don't understand why people insist on eating meat
