"Like the other reviews, I found this recipe to be on the sweet side. However, I also didn't have the required Ice Cream Maker as used. When I saw a couple others made the recipe without the maker, I tried it to. It is my opinion that you'll need the maker to get the desired consistency of a good sorbet. Good luck!""

"I followed the recipe with the exception of the red peppers and it turned out great. Took it to work for a pot luck for Fat Tuesday and none was left. I was suspicious of the cayenne pepper and jalapenos together but it was a good balance. However, I did cut the cayenne measurement in half. I wasn't sure how the co-workers were going to work with the hotness. Overall, I'm happy with the recipe, very easy to follow. One word of caution is to pre-cut your potatoes. When it's time to add the flour to the onions, garlic, and peppers, there's not enough time to cut them. Follow the recipe, make your own additions or omits but enjoy it! DEELICIOUS!!!! Thanks Neelys!"

"I am by no stretch of the imagination a chef but I can follow directions. I was apprehensive about this recipe because I fell asleep during the show and had to remember the recipe while shopping for the ingredients. I used cremini,shitaki, and oyster mushrooms. I forgot the sherry &substituted Worcestershire for it; I don't recommend you do the same. The directions were very easy to follow. I have a NINJA pulse-blender and it worked just fine. The texture of the soup is unbelievable. It just melts in your mouth. I cooked my soup in a dutch oven and it cooked very evenly. I got to experience 'scraping' the bottom of the pot to get all the bits from the bacon. The prep is an hour but the outcome is well worth the wait. Thanks again Chef for adding a recipe that an inexperienced cook such as myself can follow! Looking forward to making it again! "
