What a great way to take the chill off. And what a great side for a grilled cheese sandwich. Fallowed tips from other reviewers. From Loula made sure used the full 8 cloves of garlic and am glad I did. From Jennifer skipped the sautéing and went with the toss and cook which worked out perfectly. Recommend using ingredients as posted to maintain the wonderful balance of flavors. Thanks so much for the post.

I iked this soup alot! It had a great flavour and the sweet potatoe really made it taste special. Since I had a very fresh garlic I decided to cut back on the amount of cloves used ( I thought: 8! cloves-no way!), but that was a mistake! In the end there was barely a hint of garlic left in my soup so next time Ill definitely stick with the stated ingredients. I think Ill also peel the peppers next time (if I have time) for it was a little bit annoying having to try to avoid their skins in the soup. Thats only personal preference, though. Thanks for sharing this nice soup recipe, muffin3355.
