     **Incredible**. So flavorful, I used a little cumin too, can't wait to have this again. - 2/7/10

     This soup is fabulous. I didn't have any chili pepper, but I added the cumin as someone else mentioned. I imagine you will love this either way. Warm, comforting, filling soup with very generous portions. Thank you so much for the recipe. - 12/16/09
  • KNIGHTOWL125
     This was delicious! My husband raved about it. I added cumin because I like it a lot, and I saw it in another recipe. I'll be making it again soon and doubling the recipe. - 12/8/09

     I don't like white potatoes so I used sweet. Also I used no sodium bullion to cut down the sodium. This was so good. I only made half to make sure I liked I liked it. I should of made the full recipe. 😊 - 11/17/13
  • TEASCHERTZ
     Used reduced sodium chicken broth instead of bullion and water but other than that made it to the recipe and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to making it again and changing the spices up a bit. - 2/22/12
  • SPBETTERWAY
     Your soup was absolutely delicious. I had to make a few changes due to what we had in the house: Tofutti non-dairy cream cheese, Coop vegan chicken broth powder, and no chilli powder. We both loved it! Thanks!! - 2/9/11

     This recipe was fantastic! I listened to the other reviews and added cumin for a little extra smoke. Even my 4 year old son who doesn't like soup ate this. I will definately make it again and double the recipe so I have leftovers. - 1/30/11

     Tasted great! I didn't have a potato but I had powdered mash potatoes which I added at the end. Works the same but it doesn't look as smooth. - 1/17/21

     Great but too much sodium for me. - 11/26/20
  • FLUTECHICK2018
     Really enjoyed this soup. I didn't have poultry seasoning, but I did have fresh thyme and rosemary and that was perfect. I also sweetened it up slightly with a teaspoon of spoon for spoon stevia. Didn't have chilli pepper so I threw in a few dashes of siracha.

     This was really good and easy to put together. I followed the recipe as is. I think tho next time I will leave it chunchy instead of putting it in the blender. - 1/14/20

     awesome! A new favorite. - 9/27/19
  • CD15799877
     Oh my goodness!!! This is so delicious. I had to use Neufchatel cream cheese (lower fat) because I cannot find fat free in the store anymore. It is just fantastic!!!! THANKS so much!!! - 12/22/18
  • DIANNE467
     Wonderful! Easy and so flavorful. I love that there are carrots and apples. I used a sweet potato and added cumin. Could use broth instead of the bouillon if you don't have and sub in almond milk for some of the cream cheese if necessary ( or add for extra creamy!) - 12/18/17
  • LISABEAMER2006
     I threw all the ingredients except for the cream cheese in the crock pot on high while we were at church. Came home and it was perfect to blend, add the cream cheese, and serve to my hungry crew! Side note: We didn't have any apples, so skipped the apple, added 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and di - 11/6/16

  • SCHNOOTIE
     Creamy and delicious with a tiny kick from the pepper. And yet light and not heavy like some I have tried. This one is a keeper! - 11/10/15
  • CD13081597
     I added sweet potato rather than regular potato and as some previous reviewers, I also added Cumin. Also used low-fat chicken broth rather than water and bullion and I left some of the veggies chunky rather than blended smooth. Very good and comforting on a cold, windy day! - 2/18/15

  • MAXRUTHVEN
     Yummie! I added a little bit of curry powder to it and even my husband liked it. (He's not big on Butternut Soup) - 11/28/11
  • KENLYAZEVEDO
     This soup is delicious. I cooked it last night for my family and everyone loved it. I will definitely be making it again soon. It's a great recipe for the Fall and/or the holidays. - 10/18/11
