Loved this recipe, easy to make and very delicious. - 24 Jun 2011
Easy to make, especially with the stick blender. I had lots of sweet potato, so doubled the recipe. Great flavour with these spices. I also added some cumin. - 17 Dec 2009
How much stock should this be? I read it as 1 and 3/4 cups but that was more like puree than soup. I added extra and I think it was around 3 and 1/2 cups so should it read 3 to 4 cups of stock? Loved it though. - 20 Apr 2018
