    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
