Though easy to make, did not like this at all. The massive amount of dried herbs gives it a weird texture (maybe better with fresh?) - and yet despite the herbs, the flavor wasn't good.

Wow, this was a great recipe! I made it exactly according to the recipe plus 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes and would not change a thing - I will definitely make this again! Make sure to cut the sweet potato into really small pieces so it won't crowd your spoon.

This was sooooo good. I love to find a good recipe that you can alter to your taste, and this is one of the best soups I ever made. I subbed oregano and cumin for the thyme and basil, used half can diced tomato, 2 chopped green chillies and a little more garlic than called for. thick, hearty, healthy, DELICIOUS results. I'll be making this again and again.

Let me just say, that my leftovers, which I had hoped to have for lunch went down the drain. I know it's called chickpea soup, but there were too many chickpeas in it, the flavor was bland, and I added way too much salt and pepper reducing the health factor that the soup could have. If you do make it, the sweet potato does get soft very fast. Probably closer to between 8-10 min. than 15.

For some reason, I had quite a few cans of garbanzo beans in my pantry, so I made this last night. I used 2 sweet potatoes, 3 cans of Roasted Garlic chicken broth, 1 can of Fire Roasted diced tomatoes, 1 can of green beans and 1 can of corn. I also added 1/4 tsp of cayenne as another reviewer suggested, plus a 4-oz can of green chiles. It was so good that I ate two bowls of it along with some corn muffins.

Yum! This was really good. I followed the recipe, but used a can of Italian seasoned petite diced tomatoes rather than the fresh tomato. I may add another can next time. Great, healthy and quick. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Wow, this soup is surprisingly delicious! I followed the recipe except for adding only frozen green beans, not mixed veggies, and I used a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles in it(oops!), in place of fresh tomato. I don't like alot of spice, so I added a scoop of non-fat plain yogurt to my bowl of soup. It turned out amazing! I will make this regularly, adding the Rotel tomatoes.

I loved this soup. It has a slightly sweet flavor from the sweet potato, which is unusual but very good. I made a few substitutions: some tomato sauce instead of the tomato and I used a frozen summer vegetable mix instead of green beans. My husband liked this a lot. It offered a nice balance to the spicy pasta dish that I served with it.

Very good, with a few changes: Because green beans were mentioned in the intoduction, I assumed the "frozen mixed veg" was a mistake, and unfortunately used beans. It spoiled an otherwise delicious soup. The next time I made it I omitted the beans/frozen veg, used a fresh sprig of thyme and added 2 chicken breast halves near the end of cooking time (fried in a little olive oil and thinly sliced). I also increased the paprika to one teaspoon. My husband said it was one of the best soups I'd ever made! I'm making my version of this for a friend's dinner party next week. Thanks, Christine!

My family really enjoyed this soup. I doubled the chicken broth and garlic, added 16 ounces of frozen mixed veggies (corn, green beans, carrots, and peas variety), and added some cayenne pepper for some kick. It's a very colorful and eyecatching vegetable soup. A nice change from ordinary vegetable soup.

First of all, the ingredient list shows: 1 (10 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables I went out and bought mixed veggies and then down in the bottom section it mentioned green beans... so I guess it means frozen green beans? My mixed veggies had cauliflower, carrots, and pea pods. I would not use frozen veggies again, as they get too mushy and I like them to have a little bite to them. Also we didn't love the sweet potatoes, I think we are going to do this again with regular potatoes and more fresh vegetables. It didn't seem to have enough broth, it was very thick, so I added water and a chicken boullion cube.

I really love this soup and have given the recipe to several friends. Like the suggestion said, I use veggie boullion to keep it vegetarian. I pretty much make it as the recipe says, though I was a little confused that the ingredient list called for mixed veggies while the directions said to add green beens. I used the green beans anyway and it came out awesome! Very wholesome. Though I had to fib and tell my kids the sweet potatoes were carrots so they would eat it!

Let's see, where to start. First off, I didn't think 3C broth was enough. I like "juice" in my soup so I probably used 5-6 cups of broth. No fresh tomatoes so I used a can of petite diced...added 10 ozs of mixed vegetables (I was a little confused by the directions...said to add green beans, maybe that's what the person who submitted used instead of mixed). Also, I probably used 4 cups of diced sweet potatoes. I also added about 1/4 t. of cayanne pepper to add some kick. Think I'll add a little more next time. My boyfriend and I LOVED this soup, in fact, I'm having it for lunch now as I type this review. Really, really good!!! Will make again.
