Elizabeth Mason
Excellent soup! Very easy to make!
Connie Patterson
chicken broth instead of vegetable broth
William Rivera
This was the 2nd time I made this soup. It was very good the 1st time, but I made a few changes to suite our preferences. Used olive oil instead of margarine, added 1 tsp turmeric along with curry powder, 3 potatoes, 1 apple, 4 cups of broth, to accommodate the chopped carrot and chopped celery (with leaves) that I added. Needed no extra salt, and forgot (both times) the yogurt. Results were excellent – that’s one of the things I like about the recipe – it seems very forgiving of changes in proportions of ingredients. My daughter loved it too. Will definitely make again.

I diced the potatoes, cooked them in the microwave and then added them into the blended soup. This gave a little bit of texture to the soup. The soup was thick enough without the potatoes thickening the soup but adding in texture. I will make it again

This was a delightful fall soup! I made it as written but did end up upping the potatoes slightly (adding a bit of extra stock to maintain the proper consistency). As per some other reviewers’ recommendations I also simmered it for about 30 minutes more than the recipe called for. No yogurt on hand but next time will definitely be sure to add it – and yes, there will be a next time!
Amanda Thomas
Fantastic. Really enjoyed it. A keeper. Only had one apple and one leek but was great. Proportion was still good, not too appley at all and was perfect for 2 people. Only regret is not buying some bread to dunk.

I tried the squash instead of potato. I am not sure I would do that again. I had to much apple compared to leek. I am going to try again and make changes and see what I think.

5 stars for nutrition! I used coconut oil in place of butter, half amount was sufficient. We sprinkle lots of red pepper flakes on our own bowls. If you omit the yogurt this is a good vegan recipe too!
Leroy Lin
My apples were really big so maybe that was the problem. The soup came out too sour.
Michael Shelton
Delicious, but we did make modifications which I note here only for my own reminder next time: only 1 fairly large apple, an onion instead of leeks, and about 2 1/2 cups of frozen hashbrowns. We didn’t have yogurt to do on the top and didn’t miss it.

Oh, my, this was good! It was spicy and tangy with a slight crunch from the leeks, and it turned out a pretty light green color. I followed some of the reviewers’ suggestions. I used olive oil instead of margarine and increased most of the ingredients: 3 medium potatoes, 4 small Granny Smiths, 5c broth, extra curry powder (I used my own homemade version). I did not bother to peel the apples, and the peel wasn’t noticeable in the soup, unless it contributed to the green color. I used the tops of the leeks along with some other vegetable ends to make the broth ahead of time. My soup was so delicious my husband and I each had two big bowls full! I will just have to make more. Thanks so much for a lovely recipe.

onions work as well as leeks, although not as subtle a flavor as leeks
Michael Davies
Awesome recipe – enjoyed it immensely. The only change I made was to use extra hot curry powder as we like it hot here!
Alexis Norton
This soup was so easy to make! And fast too! It’s really delicious, I didn’t follow the measurements exactly (I’m not a fan of measuring) except for the curry because I have never cooked with it until this recipe. I used all the ingredients and cooked for the recommended times. As another reviewer said, I was reluctant to blend it because I like chunky soups, but I went ahead and blended it and what a difference! This is a MUST do step, it completely changes the recipe. I didn’t have any yogurt so I served it with a little shredded Parmesan cheese. Great recipe!!
Mary Wilson
Very tasty! The apple flavour really comes through to make this a very delicious soup. (The only thing I changed was to leave the peel on the apples: the soup was going to be pureed anyway and I had gotten fed up with peeling and chopping.)
Jonathan Hamilton
Really good recipe. I took a journey with my hubby in making this recipe and we both thought it was rather good. The pungent smell of the aromatics of curry was to my liking. My son…wasn’t a fan, but my girls were. The yogurt adds just a bit of tartness and I orginally didn’t season with salt or pepper when I first tried it. I could eat this with or with out the yogurt. Having said that, when I dashed some pepper into the soup, it added a bit of a bite, I did not add or my batch did not need any salt because we could taste the flavor of the salt from the vegetable broth. I followed threw this recipe to a T. One thing if I could go back and change would be to add more vegetables, maybe an additional potato and leek to help bind some of the soup together. When it sits, the liquid separates from the actual apple/leek mixture. Adding the yogurt and combining in individual bowls does elminate that issue but I could get this with or with out the yogurt. Thank you.
Alicia Chandler
Easy to make. We added an extra apple which tasted good. Yogurt was really good in it too.
Tracy Larson
we are having a cookie exchange, plus each person is bringing a crock of soup. I thought that I would try this one. Made a pot of this and it was great. My sister and her daughter came to try it and also gave it 5 stars. I added about 1 Cup of Swanson Chicken broth, and loved the results. That was the only change I made. I will make this for the soup exchange.
Leah Erickson
This was delicious!!! I ended up using Gala apples and greek yogurt instead of regular, and it was perfect!
Anna Ramos
Delicious and easy! I made this in my crockpot, turning it on low for 8 hours. I only used about half as much potatoes as it called for and added carrots. I didnt blend it afterwards — I think it was just as good chunky.
Penny Alvarez DVM
After following the recipe to a tee, I did not care for this. Will not make again.
