Unlike most people who claim to have followed the recipe, we really did follow this recipe as closely as we could, with just one minor variation: we used 2% instead of heavy whipping cream. We just didn't have the heavy whipping cream on hand. The result was not what I expected. I would categorize this as pumpkin pie baby food. You might as well just get some baby food, add a little nutmeg, (or a lot, as the recipe calls for), and add some water and call it soup. It really is just watered down baby food when you think about it. Blehk!

So good! I didn't put a turnip in, but instead added carrots and a large onion. I left out the butter and used 2% milk instead of cream. I also cut down on the nutmeg but added both cayenne pepper and turmeric. Yummy with crumbled bacon on top!

Love it! I used carrots instead of turnip and added a celery stock, also swapped out one of the white potatoes for red potatoes. The nutmeg really made this. I only used 1 tsp because that's all I had left and it was great. Just the perfect hint of nutmeg in the taste. Will be making this again! And I didn't transfer it in to the processor to puree, I just put my hand blender in to the pot on the stove and that did the job perfectly. No need to dirty something else in the kitchen.

Turned out pretty yummy!!! I followed the recipe mostly, but added: leeks, celery, an apple, two pears, and green onions and nixed the white potatoes doubling the sweet potatoes instead. Trying to pack it with more veggies. I used Splenda brown sugar instead to cut calories. I served with a balsamic salad, and a fresh loaf of rosemary artisan crusty bread. Thanks for sharing this! My whole family loved it.

I didn't have any white potatoes so I just used all sweet potatoes. Also threw in a chopped onion. This soup was easy to make and very tasty! We served this with grilled gouda and mozzarella cheese sandwiches. YUM!

I'm almost finished making this for a charity event. I'm using real salted butter, 1/2 the nutmeg, roasted garlic and only half the amount of turnips plus a little cinnamon and pepper. I'm making it for a local charity event and I think it will be a big hit. I already love it and my kitchen smells amazing!

This is a tasty, easy soup to make. I did alterate a bit - I omitted the turnip (didn't have one), used 1% milk instead of cream and added 2 T additional butter, doubled the brown sugar and cut down considerably on the nutmeg (personal preferance), maybe used 1/4 tsp. I also added some mini marshmallows while the soup was in my bowl and let them melt...mmm,mmm.

Yum. Didn't have white potatoes so I used 4 yams. Didn't have a turnip either so I made it without. Used butter instead of margarine. But it was great!

Severed this before Thanksgiving dinner. Some people were skeptical of this soup-but everyone loved it. Best if served with biscuits or french bread. YUM YUM
