     This was great and I'm making it again. This time I'll leave out the carrots, as I think they overpowered the flavor the sweet potatoes. They're both sweet, but I like the flavor of the sweet potatoes best in this soup. - 12/21/08

     I pureed the soup base without the peas and added cooked lentils and we like it. - 2/7/14

     I roasted the veggies in a 500 deg. oven for 35 minutes instead of sautéing them in oil. This was an unusual dish for me, but we loved it. I used home made vegetable broth too instead of water. I'm looking forward to leftovers - 4/8/13

     Made it in the crockpot and left out the oil to lower the calories. Also added a pinch of ground chipotle. Yum!!! - 1/20/12

     I made this for supper tonight, and it was delicious! I used the pressure cooker to speed things up, and it worked beautifully. - 1/19/14

     This soup was awesome - and a hit with the family too! I added a tablespoon of curry (since I love curry with everything!) and it really blended well with the other flavors. I'll definitely make this again! - 6/22/09

     I like the combination of sweet potato with the split peas. - 3/3/17

     I didn't rate since I did a full make-over on this recipe to use the ingredients I had on hand. I used red lentils instead of split peas, celeriac instead of celery, and added ginger and a few spices (in place of the onion.) It was delicious, but I will make this properly and rate it next! - 6/8/14

     I added garlic, black pepper, thyme, salt, and a pinch of ground cloves to the bay. - 11/15/11
