    • Reviews

  • “I thought the taste was excellent. Perhaps a little extra curry would be bettter for my personal taste.We used 2% milk and although it was very good, it would have probably been better a little creamier. I think whipping cream would be too thick. In Canada we have homogenized milk at 3.5% fat which would probably be ideal. Otherwise you could just add some cream to the milk.Very good soup!”

  • “I was just going to add this recipe and my recipe only has one difference which is 1 tbsp. honey instead of the brown sugar.I got the recipe out of Jersey Fresh.”
