    I used 1 cup more broth with my batch, and added 2 Tablespoons cool whip 'free' on top and served this as a dessert. My husband who hates vege's loved it! - 11/9/07

    This was very tasty. I didn't have any granola, so I sprinkled a bit of pecans on top. YUM! - 10/30/07

    I can see adding the carrots to the sweet potatoes, and I make mine with some chicken stock and spices and whip them,but I can't see adding the br. sugar - to me sweet potatoes have enough flavor & sweetness on their own plus the carrots will add some some sweetness and who needs the extra calories - 2/7/09

    Made this last night & we loved it! I suggest starting the carrots first though, as I used a mixer and had pcs of carrot- which was fine- if you care. Also, add more pie spice. This made WAY MORE than 8 servings! There was 4 of us last night, & we could eat this at least twice more to finish it. - 5/12/09

    Sweet potatoes are *so* good for you. This could probably be adapted to lower the sodium, too. - 2/2/09

    What does one do with the margerine? Is it really necessary? Want to try as this sounds interesting. - 2/2/09

    Great recipe. I did not add brown suger. They were great anyway. - 3/21/10

    This does sound good, but I think maybe you should remove the vegetarian tag. You can substitute with vegetable boullion (and most of us vegetarians know this), but as it is, chickens aren't vegetables. - 4/26/09

    This was great...we ALL LOVED IT!!!!

    .... although I am baffled why Pickie98 felt it was necessary to leave feedback that she hates sweet potatoes...heard of being nice???? (oh, right, that does not happen at the recipe site!) - 2/2/09

    This looks good, but I wouldn't have called it vegetarian due to the chicken bouillon cubes. - 4/26/09
