    This soup is excellent! I made it without the ricotta, and subsituted turnips for the potatoes. I added carrots and about 2 cups of Northern White Beans and some Spinach for color. This soup is amazing! Thanks for sharing. - 1/3/10

    I used homemade fat free yogurt, in lieu of ricotta full fat, and homemade broth in lieu of the 1000 mg sodium/serving broth used here; we have high blood pressure and renal considerations ! thanks! the spices are super. - 6/29/11

    Wow, this was pretty good. The only thin I felt it was missing was color, but otherwise was fabulous...and surprisingly very filling! - 6/11/08

    Excellent! It reminded me of my favorite Indian restaurant. I made it without potatoes because I am doing low carb. - 5/27/08

    This soup lived up to the description -- the texture was smooth and creamy, the flavors were strong without being overpowering. Very good. In the future, I might add other veggies, like carrots or broccoli to the soup, because I think it could stand alone or as a good base for other ingredients. - 2/10/08
