    The recipe was easy to make, though I made a few changes. Used only 1/4 tsp. cayenne and it still had a kick. I also used 1 1/2 sweet potatoes and 1/2c peanut butter. To finish it off I served lowfat sour cream on the side. I held off using any cream in the soup for the calorie and fat, but I know that it would have given a richness to the soup.

    I made this soup this evening and will not make it again. First of all, even though I only used 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, it is way too spicy hot. Secondly, it tastes too strongly of the peanut butter. The only good thing about it for me is that I was
    finally motivated to purchase an immersion blender. I loved the Tuscan Vegetable Soup and I plan to try the tortilla soup but this nutty sweet potato soup is a loser in my book.

    I'm so glad I finally tried this soup. I made it as written, except I scaled back the ingredients by a third since I had only a medium sweet potato. I did add almost a half teaspoon of cayenne, and I used vegetable broth. It was so delicious. I didn't have any scallions, but it was excellent anyway. I just realized I could have used chives...and I will next time. This reminds me of a sauce I make for an African chicken dish I've made for years. Thanks Ellie!

    This soup is wonderful. It is easy to make. We eat it all year round. The use of the cayenne pepper is really a matter of personal choice. Two members of the family love it on the milder side. My daughter loves the heat. She wants every thing spicy hot. So she gets to add more to her bowl. Some good, whole grain, crusty bread with this soup is excellent. I often double the recipe and freeze the left over. It freezes just fine. Ellie is terrific!

    Make a double-batch and service this at your next party in a crock pot... Swirl the honey and add garlic chives when you serve it for that finishing touch. This is the perfect fall soup that can be made in advance or on a moment's notice.

    I saw the episode this morning (7/11/09, got the ingredients and started cooking, it is easy and DELICIOUS! THe cayenne pepper gives a nice kick and the peanut butter (I admit that I wanted to skip it at first but glad I didn't and honey nicely balance it out. I've put double of tomatos in, still good. Thanks Ellie.

    I made this soup tonight for dinner!!!! It was extremely yummy!!!!! It was very easy to make. I left out the honey and used half the amount of peanut butter. My husband usually doesn't like to eat soup and he really enjoyed it. I can't wait to make it in the winter months!!!

    This soup is so good and filling. I make a batch early in the week and have lunches for about 5 days. I use a little less cayenne pepper and sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top. It is also good with a spoonful of cooked brown rice added to the bowl. Although the fat content is quite high it is low in saturated fat and also has a ton of veggies.
