    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    This was incredible. I used my new soup maker blender and it came out fabulous. Can't figure this out but it taste just like the baked stuffed clams I had at Sharky's Restaurant on Venice Beach, FL last week. Gonna make this again. Thanks for the recipe. - 1/11/11

    This recipe is truly delicious. It's a wonderful "week before Thanksgiving" recipe, as it tastes similar to dressing. I will make this one again. Thanks so much for sharing! - 11/19/09
