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!Reply

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.Reply

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.
