My favorite soup/stew of all time! I get requests for this recipe every time I made it. I will happily say that this won the Parts Express Soup Cookoff of Springboro, Ohio(2008) hands down! After so much time making this, I have cut out nearly all steps and simply throw everything into the biggest pot I can find and let it steep until dinner is ready(give or take a few hours!). The smell has even attracted neighbors from across the apartment complex!!! Thank God I make a lot!

This soup is awesome...the blend of flavors is so unique. I am actually eating the leftovers as I write this! I followed the recipe and suggestions from others to substitute curry for tumeric and soy sauce for tamari. I also added red peppers, carrots, rice and cumin. Excellent recipe!

This soup was exceptionally good. I made it for 3 guests and they all went back for more until it was nearly gone. --one was a college student. He actually asked me if he could take home the leftovers! One guest told me it was the best soup she'd had in her entire life. I followed the directions very closely. Only change was adding 4 C of Chicken Broth instead of 3, substituted navy beans for garbonzo beans...and I shredded a rotisserie chicken and added the meat to it. I will make this soup for yrs to come.

It was a little weird. I followed the recipe and I'm not sure I enjoyed the taste. I have lots of leftovers. I will eat them, but I'm not sure I will make again.

Great recipe! I had great fun making this dish. All ingredients were not measured, just went by feel! Adjust as you wish! This is a feel good dish. I didn't have any Tamari but it still turned out delicious.

We don't like sweet potatoes, but loved this soup. I think the key was to add curry powder.

This was worth making just for the delicious way my kitchen smelled. My husband said it was the best vegetable soup he ever had, and he doesn't like vegetable soup. I didn't have fresh tomatoes so I used some from a can of Italian stewed tomatoes and the flavoring went very well with the rest of the soup.

Really good. I left out the celery and tamari, but otherwise followed the recipe. The pinch of cinnamon is wonderful in this soup. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This soup was SOOO good! I don't really measure vegetables for soups, but I used about 1/2 of a big yellow onion, 4 cloves garlic, 3 stocks of celery, 1 small sweet potato, added about 1 cup chopped carrots, soy sauce instead of tamari, one can of garbanzo beans and 2 Roma tomatoes. I omitted the cayenne and the green pepper, used 2 bay leaves instead of 1, and added about 1/2 bag frozen peas at the end. I had to saute the veggies in two pans since I have a really small stove so I just divided the spices between the two and combined everything before adding the stock/soy sauce. I used one quart/32 oz. (one container) of chicken stock which isn't that much more than 3 cups. This all yielded about 5-6 servings or so. It also freezes great! I will DEFINITELY make this again and again and again!

This was very good. The seasoning blend is the perfect accompaniament to the sweet potoatoes. I gave this 5 stars b/c it is a great soup, but I still prefer the healing cabbage soup recipe, as I'm crazy for cabbage.

This was a really good soup. I initially added 3 cups of homemade vegetable stock, but decided I wanted it a little brothier, so I added another cup, which I thought was perfect. The only other change I made was to cut the oil to 2 tablespoons...next time I will probably just use one. We got two huge dinner portions and two smaller lunch portions out of this, and the leftovers were even better than the first day.

I have been searching for a vegetable soup recipe and have finally found one! This is terrific. I followed the recipe to a T, with the one exception of soy sauce (didn't have any tamari). The smell and the flavor is totally different that any other vegetable soup I've had. I did have to cook it for an extra half hour to get all the veggies cooked through, but other than that, it was a breeze to make!

I'm giving this a 5 because I thought it was very tasty considering how healthy it is. I don't think this soup would be for everyone because of the unique flavors, but it definitely will be a repeat for me. Thanks! I used light soy sauce instead of tamari.

So good - the flavors are incredible. I love the unique combinations and the impressive medley that is hearty, warming, exotic and homey all at the same time. Even my husband (who's a "meat at every meal" kind of person loved it!). Cannot wait to finish the leftovers tomorrow!

Very tasteful! I didn't have green pepper so I diced a golden delicious apple instead. I also added andouille sausage - diced and pan fried with apples before adding at the end.

This soup was delicious and I would definitely make it again. My husband said "It's a keeper". I made a few minor changes. We like meat in our soups so I added 1 1/2 lb sun dried tomato chicken sausage, doubled the garlic, replaced the tamari with low sodium soy, added a cup more chicken broth (low sodium), black and butter beans in place of garbonzo, sliced yellow squash and zucchini. It was wonderful!!!

I could eat a whole pot of this soup, and why not? I love sweet potatoes, so I might even add more next time, and I doubled the garlic. I used less than 2 T oil. I've used this recipe from the "Moosewood Cookbook", which calls for water instead of broth... much more full-bodied when made with broth. I used green beans instead of peppers.
