This soup was hearty and so flavorful. The only thing I did different was added Thyme and two shredded carrots. It's great with a hearty grain bread to dip in it. Try this soup you won't regret it.
I'm giving this 4 starts as written. It's very easy to make and is very tasty but I thought it was missing something. I tried making it again and added more cayenne pepper and lots of hot curry. Once I added the the curry it was more the taste I was looking for.
Made it today and turned out great! I don't have a processor so I just diced the eggplant after roasting. Also added sliced baby red potatoes. Filling and has nice sweet garlic flavour!
EXTREMELY delicious. Instead of half-and-half I used organic nonfat milk and 1 egg. Added more cayenne pepper as well. I thought it tasted better when I cooled it down then reheated it the next day.
Super yummy! I was nervous about all the eggplant seeds and spent a lot of time separating the seeds from the eggplant but in the end it didn't matter because the food processor pulverized the whole thing. I used the milk/cornstarch trick - the consistency was very nice. I added some spinach too just because I had it on hand and didn't want it to go bad.
I made this as written except for omitting Worcestershire sauce. Delicious!!! Very filling and a nice warming soup for a cold day. I think next time I will increase the cayenne as I couldn't tell there was any. This is definitely a keeper!
This soup is epic! I made it vegetarian with vegetable broth and vegan Worcestershire sauce substitutions. I also increased the cayenne to 1/8 tsp. which was fine but may not have been necessary. My husband normally loathes eggplant but he LIKED this soup. I'd list this one among my top 5 favorite soups of all time.
It looks pretty gross but tastes great.
YUM! YUM!! YUMMY!!! I made this on a whim looking for a creative way to prepare eggplant and this is it! My husband and I will probably eat the whole pot before tomorrow's lunch! I didn't make any changes - used all fresh veggies in my new food processor and it is delicious! Thanks for posting such a healthy alternative to "fried eggplant"! KUDOS!!!:)
I found the soup bland and unappetizing looking due to the color. It would be better as a soup base instead of as is.
