I really enjoyed this soup. It has a ton of flavor and is a great way to get more veggies into your diet. I used Recipe #214220 (veggie stock version) and cut the recipe in half, following it closely except for leaving the garlic and curry at the stated amounts since I love both. I tried the soup just after it came out of the pot, but decided to try lightly blending it in my mini-food processor. The blended version has the texture of split pea soup and every flavor was in every spoonful. I would definitely recommend blending the soup if you like thick creamy style soup over minestrone style ones.
