"This is my hands-down favorite recipe I've tried on this site," says reviewer zimmerr. "Added a whole can (12oz) of coconut milk instead of just one cup, and forgot the peas at the end. Simmered uncovered for an hour instead of 10 minutes or so because my family prefers softer cauliflower, which also helped thicken. Added salt as others suggested as well. My grandparents always served curry with a variety of toppings, as desired, including plum jam, peanuts, sweet relish, coconut flakes. I added peanuts and sweet relish as last-minute toppings to this. So yummy."

Kale, potatoes, tomatoes, and cannellini beans get together to make a big pot of fill-you-up soup. "I love this soup," says KatieMc. "The mix of brothy goodness and a variety of satisfying textures makes this a very comforting and hearty meal. With only 8 cups of liquid, it is sort of stew-like though, so I added 4 extra cups of vegetable broth and it worked beautifully. Thanks for the great recipe!"

"This is a delicious stew," says Buckwheat Queen. "I followed the instructions but it seemed very thick when I started to close the lid; so I added an extra cup of water. I'm glad I did. I cooked it for 10 minutes and found it had started to burn. So, adjust water before cooking. The flavor is fantastic. Thank you."

"Very good! Definitely fulfilled the creamy meaty pasta craving," Chris Frankovic Zaroor says. "Next time, I will perhaps not add all of the marinade to the cream sauce. And I will follow the other reviewer's recommendation to add the fresh minced onions to the marinade or saute first. Overall excellent!"
