I love this soup! I just made it for the first time last week and I have made it twice since. It's easy, it's creamy and filling. I would highly recommend it. The only thing I changed was a little less spinach (one frozen package) and I spiced it up a bit with more hot pepper flakes.

This was not good. I adore sweet potatoes but without alot of added ingredients. Since I had to use these organic ones before they got bad I saw this recipe. The sweet potatoes I used were lighter in color. Saffron is an unusual spice you either like it or not. That wasnt the problem it was too sweet for my liking. It smelled good , texture was good but blaw tasting. I added one whole juice of lime, lots of hot pepper flakes and salt. Oh yes I did not add spinach or kale cuz I didnt have it. I did not add the orange zest. I ate some but I think our chickens are going to be dining tonight.
