It sounded really interesting, but the flavors of the prunes didn't really go with the spices and the rest of the soup. I had to throw it all out : (

Lovely flavour had a little bit of spice about it. Preparation time a wee bit lengthy would use food processor next time. I reduced the Vegetable Broth by half (between 400-500ml Vegetable Stock in metric). As someone who is a meat eater this is a nice flavoursome dish. Would definitely make this again

I made this but with many alterations for taste and for what I had on hand - a lack of parsnips and fresh carrots in addition to a dislike for turnip lead to a change to two small potatoes, a red pepper, a can of carrots, and a can of chickpeas. I also cut out 14 ounces of veg broth since I wanted less salt; so I added in a can of diced tomatoes. I love how easy your recipe is, and especially that it's meat-free! I'll be sure to keep some fresh carrots and parsnips on hand for next time - I can imagine how great they'd taste.
