    Wonderful! Will definately make again. The lime or lemon juice was a great touch. I used vegetable boullion and couldn't find sweet potato and used fresh pumpkin. Was wonderful. - 8/13/08

    I didn't strain the soup, as I like a little bit of texture. The flavor was milder than I expected, but still tasty. I'm looking to replicate Au Bon Pain's Harvest Pumpkin Soup, so I might add some rosemary, celery, carrots & brown sugar next time... - 10/13/07

    Very good! I used an immersion blender while the soup was still on the stove- left some chunks of sweet potato for texture :) It was so easy and delicious! - 10/15/08
