Recipe makes a lot. It was good, make sure to really cut the sweet potato into small pieces. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to puree them afterwards and I still had chunks. Soup heats up fairly well and is rather filling. It was nice to add this to lunch while I was studying. - 11/27/07

Very good recipe! I subbed an eggplant for the sweet potato. It only needed to simmer for about 15 minutes until the eggplant was soft. Also, I upped the cumin and curry a bit, and left out the lime juice, flour, nutmeg and the salt. Used skim milk, butter substitute; came out to 87.5 cals! - 11/16/09
