I always double this recipe whenever I prepare it, since we love leftovers. This is the easiest soup I've ever made. Our 10-month-old daughter can really dig in, since this thick nutritious mixture clings to her spoon. We prefer it warm, but it can also be served chilled. -Gayle Becker, Mt. Clemens, Michigan

We really enjoyed this soup. I made a few changes. I used olive oil, doubled the recipe, added collards to the soup and used leeks instead of onions. The flavor was WONDERFUL, rich and delicious. I destemed the collards and pulled out the strings from the leaf veins as I could. I would recommend cutting the leaf veins out as far up the leaves as you can. Pureeing the collards into the soup definitely changed the color but not too ugly, I kept the ration of collards to sweet potato down to minimize the GREENESS. :) We could not taste the collards at all and I added some yummy greens to our diet in a way that did not gross out the kids. It is kid friendly without chunks in it and is yummy as a vegan meal or as a side dish with beef or chicken dishes. Enjoy!

This had a great flavor. The potatoes I had seemed smaller than medium-sized, so I used more of them. The soup turned out too thick, but perhaps I used too many potatoes. Next time I will either use fewer potatoes or more broth, but either way, I will definitely be making this again.

I was looking for something different in a soup and I had a ton of yams that I didn't want to go bad. I tried this recipe and it is absolutely fantastic. My kids LOVE it and so do I!
