    Very Good
    I made this last night and enjoyed it. I didn't have a sweet potato but I would like to try it with it next time, you could really add any type of spice to this you want to change the flavor which is nice. I also didn't use the yogurt since I am dairy free but it was still good. Will make again. - 12/1/08

    Good
    Sounds good and doesn't have to simmer for too long, so definitely worth a try. I may substitue a green vegetable such as broccoli for the parsnip, though I am intrigued by what it will taste like. - 3/22/07
