"This is a savory vegetable soup that permeates a wonderful aroma. Perfect for those brisk fall days. Serve with crusty bread. For a vegetarian soup, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth."

A wonderful soup, we substituted soy sauce as we didn't have the tamari, also changed to another white bean as garbanzo's aren't our favorite.. Great taste, froze the leftover to take to lunch, was even better 2 weeks later! hearty, spicy and a little sweet.. yumm

WOW this was so good. so so so good. It was very hearty and filling, the sort of soup that warms you to the core. Next time I make this I will use more sweet potatoes because they really shine here. I upped the broth to 4 cups. I couldn't find any good fresh tomatoes so I used a small can of diced tomatoes. I included the juice, which gave a really nice acidity to the broth. I really like that this soup lends itself easily to flexibility. People have added squashes, apples... I htink i'd like it with diced carrots. I will make it again, for sure, and maybe I'll get a little adventurous with the ingredient

this was awesome! I added some extra mixed beans, chopped cabbage and barley . The sweet potato is great in this soup. I made a huge pot and froze in containers to take to work for lunch- freezes beautifully and delish reheated!

OMG this is soooo yummy! My husband and I really enjoy Thai food, and he told me this is just like something we'd get there. I substituted the following and it is absolutely delicious and QUICK too! 1)1tsp Paprika, 1tsp ceyenne pepper (instead of 2tsp paprika) 2)curry instead of turmeric 3)1/2 tsp basil, 1/2 tsp oregano instead of 1tsp basil 4)no tamari 5)Instead of garbanzo beans, black beans I added 2 cans of chicken breast to make it a whole meal.

Definitely double the stock. I skipped the saute step and just put all ingredients in the crock pot on low for 8 or so hours. The house smelled wonderful and the soup was a huge hit with our guests. I doubled the sweet potato just because we enjoy it so much. I subbed soy sauce for tamari and left out the turmeric because I didn't have any. Easy and so satisfying on a cold January night!

Exceptional flavor. I took the advice of some of the other reviewers and doubled the recipe right from the start. I also substituted curry powder for the tumeric, a poblano pepper for the bell pepper and used a large can of petite diced tomatoes instead of a fresh tomatoe. I also increased the amount of broth, added 1 lb. of Italian sausage precooked with the casings removed, one 14.5 oz can of white corn, quartered and thin sliced zucchini and some finely sliced cabbage. A small dolup of sour cream in the bowl really enhanced the flavors.

Great soup! I used yellow curry powder instead of turmeric, 4 cups of broth, two cans of chick peas and three small sweet potatoes. Otherwise, the recipe was followed exactly - very aromatic. This would be great with lentils instead of chick peas with some freshly grated ginger - next time!

This soup was both delicious and fragrant. We more than doubled the amount of broth the recipe called. We also used soy sauce instead of tamari.

I Love this recipe. I have been making gypsy soup for years, and have made some variations too! Try fresh pumpkin or butternut squash. I sometimes also add veggies like summer squash or zucchini, corn is good too (whatever is in seeason). I use Veggie stock.

VERY good! I added 1 lb extra lean ground beef, precooked, just before the tomatoes and beans go in and we substituted soy sauce for the tamari. My husband added some curry powder to his bowl and also a tablespoon of sour cream. It was so good when I tried his that I did the same. YUMMY!! This is going to be made VERY often in my house. Ten, 1 cup servings made this (with the 96% lean beef) 203 calories a serving.
