12/6/25 A great soup. Forgot to get white beans, subbed garbonzo beans and it was almost as good (overall do prefer the white beans). Updated recipe to reflect need for much more spinach (original called for two cups, needs at least 4-6)
Made Thanksgiving 2025. A good recipe, but double wrapping my breakaway pan with 2 layers foil didn't keep the water bath out. Or maybe Sam let some in when removing from oven (got a late start, cake wasn't ready to come out til midnight with Mom's oven temp being too low and how late I began)
Made Thanksgiving 2025. 5 stars. Added some extra cheese on top. Puff pastry took about 45 minutes to defrost at room temp; take out before starting onions and timing works out nicely. Can put hot onions in freezer for 5-10 mins to cool quickly
Need about 4 lbs sweet potato (5-6 medium potatoes) to get 4 cups mashed. Google/AI says 2 pounds for 4 cups but it's not enough. Best potato preparation is to bake the whole potato (wash/scrub and puncture with fork first) on foil at 400 degrees for 50ish minutes for medium sized potatoes. Good to do prep/mash early on Thansgiving day to conserve oven time for hot items later
