WOW Incredible soup I can’t get enough of it and its so easy. Would not change a thing about it. Well I just have to make 3X the recipe. Thank you for such a great soup. I LOVE IT

Sauted tons of leeks and a huge onion, used Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor to season the broth, made it plenty salty enough. Doubled the sweet potato, used canned pumpkin and coconut cream. Left it chunky. Such a rich, sweet soup. Total comfort. Nothing missing. Could lean it any way you like with spices, but we enjoyed the mildly robust leek flavor and basic ingredients just the way it is.
Willie Harrington
Delicious. I like spicy so added a little crushed red pepper, cumin and turmeric. I will make again.
Jorge Carr
Gets even better if you blend it after!
Kristine Gibson

This recipe is everything it promises to be. Great flavors and texture. Healthy comfort food: my favorite!
Pam Shaw
Simple and good taste. Thumbs up!
Karen Hensley
Fantastic! I also added a few cloves garlic to the first step as recommended by others. I doubled most of the veggies and cut down on the coconut milk because I was nervous it would b too overwhelming. The taste was bland at first but then added allspice and OMG! Just can’t get enough of it!

I have made this soup a lot lately and I often add sweet chili sauce to the soup while im pureeing the soup with my mixer and curry powder and this soup is so nice
Sandy Smith
Too sweet. This definitely needs a little spice added.
Russell Harding
This soup is so yummy and filling. I altered it a bit by addding a zucchini and substituted the pumpkin with a sugar pie squash (just happened to have it) and also added garlic, curry powder and cumin. yum!
Debra Taylor
I didn’t like this very much. Edible, but weird flavor.
Jill Hernandez
Not nearly as flavorful as I was hoping for.
Dustin Reynolds
Delicious! You would never guess there is pumpkin in this!
Mike Morton
Made as stated and really enjoyed it. (Didn’t measure the exact sizes of pumpkin or sweet potato, just used one of each and the whole can of coconut milk.) I can see why some people thought it needed some pizazz, like garlic, ginger, or spices, and I would suggest that, but I still found it really good without.
Timothy Ramirez
I read other reviews and modified this recipe to my liking. I used 1 large can of pumpkin instead of fresh, 1 tsp red curry paste, 4 large carrots, 4 cloves of garlic and ground pepper. I blended it all until smooth in a blender. This soup is amazing, will definitely make it again!
Elizabeth Aguilar
This was so delicious! Will be making this again for sure! I did use butternut squash instead of pumpkin just because that is what I had, but I will try it with pumpkin!
Russell Weaver
This was OK. Definitely edible, but not great. My 4 year old would have nothing to do with it. We coaxed my 7 year old into eating by adding a dash of cinnamon. I spiced it with two tsp of red curry paste (could have used 3), salt and pepper. It was an interesting way to use up some leaks we had lying around, but I won’t be making it again.
Amy Haley
I love this! I will definately make it again. I made it for a friend who is sick so I wanted it bland but I found the flavors perfect and delicious. I added garlic and used canned pumpkin and it was AMAZING!
Connie Sweeney
great…although need a little something to kick it up a notch, i used fresh garlic in the leek & onion stage, and also used celery salt & garlic pepper for the seasonings. Was yummy just like that!
