@merpreb This sounds delicious, I think I would love it, but recently spicy foods seem to bother my husband. 🙁 I may try to make it using less hot spice.

Ok, Merry, and others who want a little "kick" in their soup. (This is only for the adventurous palate.)

Here is a peanut soup recipe for those of you who would like to try something different. I use much less of the curry and cayenne (just a dash) than the recipe calls for (like others have mentioned spicy doesn't work well for me). But this is an outstanding creamy soup. The ingredients that give it nutrition are the yams and/or sweet potatoes, the peanut butter and the coconut milk (which really gives it a creamy texture). Makes my mouth water to think about it.

Senegalese Peanut Soup: Microwave 1.5 lbs of sweet potatoes (I poke holes in the sweet potatoes so they don't explode in the microwave) the skins will slip off after cooking.
In a pot, heat 2 Tbsp of peanut or sesame oil; stir in 1 tbsp of curry, stir approximately 2 minutes; then add 1 1/2 cups of chopped onion, 1/2 Tbsp garlic, simmer 3 minutes. Add ¾ tsp (or less) of cayenne and 1 cup of peanut butter stir.

Add 28 can diced tomatoes, skinned yams, 1 quart of chicken broth, and 5 oz of unsweetened coconut milk...simmer 15 min...

Puree in batches (I use a hand-held blender - one of my favorite kitchen toys - and just put the blender in the pot)

Taste, add salt/pepper if desired...serve in bowls topped with chopped peanuts, green scallions, and cilantro
