  1. YUMMY - I picked this recipe at random and decided to make it for our Kwanzaa celebration on New Years day, 2011. OMG! OMG! of all the food we had at the celebration -( and there was a lot) my soup was a family hit! I did not have tomato paste, so I used a little flour and water for thickening, one can of light coconut milk and a few extra heaping tablespoons of peanut butter.<br/><br/>This recipe will move into my top ten!
     
  2. Very nice - just the right spice and filling as well. I added some fresh lime juice and a small amount of cilantro
     
  3. Yummy! I liked LGCP's addition of a can of coconut milk -- makes Creamy African Chicken-peanut Soup. Fast, easy, and delicious. Moderatelly spicy -- "two peppers out of five." Minor issue is recipe asks for 1 cup of diced cooked chicken but then asks you to saute the chicken. Fresh chicken saut?ed for 10 minutes is cooked enough.
     
  4. This was a wonderful quick lunch. I cut the recipe in half because there were only two of us - big mistake, we wanted MORE!! The only substitution I had to make was creamy peanut butter rather than chunky - its all I had. I can see that chunky would have made the texture even better. We really loved it and I will definitely be making this again.
     
  5. This was great! It had a great texture. Since I didn't have any curry powder, I used chili powder instead. I also didn't have any chunky PB, so I used crushed up peanuts to garnish on top of the soup. Wonderful, will use again in the future!
