This sounded strange, but was absolutely great. I was very pleased with the soup, which was easy to prepare, and my family liked it. Made for really delicious lunch the next day after the flavors married overnight.

This was awesome! I did make a few changes:Instead of roasting red pepper, I cut red, yellow and green peppers into chunks and sauteed then with the onions I substituted 1 can of stewed tomatoes for the plum tomatoes. I added 1 large minced thai chili pepper instead of cayenne. I added a little bit more cumin than a pinch (probably 1/4- 1/2 tsp). I simmered it for an hour to really bring out the flavors. I blended it with a hand blender for about 5 seconds just to make the broth a little thicker. I also sprinkled it with asiago before serving. Definitely a good recipe! This would probably make a yummy crock pot soup!

My husband has declared this "the best stew". I used fresh black eyed peas and a fresh sweet potato. Since I used fresh veggies I had to increase the veg broth to 3 cups and I was also more generous with the sugar and spices. I also increased the cooking time to about 40 minutes. This was very hearty and easy to make.

Edible, but not great. I prefer sweet potato pie and candied sweet potato. I think the main problem is too much cinnamon and not enough other spices. Adding asiago sounds like a good idea.

This was delicious! The flavor of the broth is similar to a barbecue rub. I thought it needed something green in it, so I added kale.

Flavor is good... but way too sweet.

This was a lot better than I expected it to be. I love sweet foods, this one was just right. The sweet taste was not too over powering because of the spicy taste that it also gave. I will be making this dish a lot!

Sorry, I'm not a fan of this one. There's too much going on with all the different spices; I think you need to pick a set of spices that compliment each other rather than using a pinch of everything. Also, the cinnamon was a bit overwhelming. Will not be making this again.
