Was a bit bland, needed more herbs and spices but not a bad soup.

I made this for a Cookie Enchange I hosted on December 21st. I was plesantly surprised at the ease it was to prepare. I added a little garlic powder to add a kick. It was a nice soup. This would be a delicious first course for a formal dinner. It didn't have a lot of substance to be able to be a main course, however.

Quite delicious and even better, quick and easy. I had all the ingredients on hand and whipped it up in less than an hour while having tea with a friend. I added one boullion cube when adding the water, but didn't change anything else. Excellent. I'll definitely be making this again!

Great soup! After reading the reviews I made the following changes: 1 white, 1 sweet potato; 3 cups vegetable broth instead of water; added some frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed and pureed only half.

This is a pretty basic but tasty soup. Lacks texture, like almost all pureed soups. Definitely use butter instead of margarine.

This was only ok. I ate my bowl full, but no one else in my family ate more than a taste. For some reason it didn't strike me as one I want to make again. Maybe it had too many onions or I didn't like the thyme. But it is a very inexpesive soup and probably very adaptable.

I made a few changes. Added 2T curry powder & some chopped celery. Used butter instead of margarine. Will make next time w/ half of the milk. It was a little too creamy for my taste.

Very good recipe. I used one sweet potato peeled and one white potato unpeeled, fresh parsley, skim milk and 1 can of chicken broth for some of the water. Next time, I will use less liquid in the cooking and add milk as I puree teh soup to get the consistency I want. Will definitely make again, good flavor.

This came out alright, but didn't knock my socks off. I'll keep trying other recipes, but might make this again.

Fantastic!! But better than just that..it was just so SIMPLE! Have to say that it was at first a bit watery. My guess is my potatos were too small! But the fix was easy. Just added some instant potato flakes which thickened it up nicely. I also used my hand mixer instead of pureeing which still gave the soup a nice creamy base, but also had hearty chunks of veggies as well.

This may be the perfect soup. The ingredients are usually on hand, it's quick and easy to make, and it's got really great flavor. I have only two suggestions about making this soup: At least for the first time, resist the temptation to add other vegetables, especially greens, to the soup, because the golden color of this soup is really beautiful, and, leave some of the vegetables unpureed to add a little texture. Thank you, Sara, for maybe the best soup recipe I've ever had the pleasure to use!

This recipes is easy to make and yummy. I used slim milk and added green beans and it turned out very good! This is a recipe for people trying to lose a few lbs and want to eat something with flavor! I will make this again.

Great idea, but it just didn't suite my tastes. The soup is sweet, not savory. Perhaps adjusting the spice would help.

This was a great recipe but I modified it because I didn't enjoy the spices. I cut them down by half and added 2 cubes of chicken bouillon for flavour.

This recipe is simply "TOP NOTCH"! I wanted to surprise my wife before she came home and I had our 2 year old with me. He helped me with getting all the ingrediants from the fridge and even helped me with the peeling the potatoes. I would have to rate this recipe a five star! Great choice for all then men out there to surprise their wives on a cold winter day.
