Some of my disappointment is probably due to pilot error. I like thicker, more savory soups. This recipe didn't call out to me, I tried it to use up some carrots I had on hand -- that may also be why I wasn't impressed.
I think I used too much broth, and probably cooked the mixture too long. This recipe is easy enough and the spice mixture is interesting -- kind of Indian/Middle Eastern. However, I found this to be too weak/watery of a soup. You may want to puree the whole recipe instead of just 2/3, as the recipe recommends. A cream of some sort -- or more pureed potatoes -- may give it more substance. It didn't taste BAD, it just wasn't my style. My sense is that if you use a veggie broth it would make a nice vegetarian soup.
