  1. Tasty & easy! I made it as-is, which I'd agree is on the mild side, then added a 1 teaspoon curry powder and one shake of cayenne pepper. Both were good but I had a slight preference for the second iteration. Also tested whipping cream vs sour cream in the end - both tasty.
     
  2. This just didn't work out for me. A lot of the liquid cooked off, so that when I pureed it, I came out with a baby food thickness. I thinned it out with water, and found the flavor not so good. I added some cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup. It made it edible, but I will not be making it again.
     
  3. A lovely warming soup. We realy enjoyed the flavours of the spice with the sweetness of the potato. The only change I made was instead of nutmeg I added a cinnamon stick with the onions and increased the cumin to 3/4 tsp. I blended it all with my stick blender. This soup will be on make again list for sure.

I love my family, classical piano, liturgical music, homeschooling, and cooking. I love to share the kitchen with my kids. There's little else more satisfying than hearing, "Mom, can you make that again?" My favorite cookbooks include Beth Hensperger's The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook, books by Cook's Illustrated, and Taste of Home. After making bread in my Kitchen Aid mixer for 17 years, I got a bread machine, and I never thought I'd enjoy it so much! I have a picky eater, so it's a challenge to come up with dinners we will all eat. Sometimes I do give in and let the picky one have a hamburger while the rest of us try something unusual.
