"This soup is absolutely delicious, it's habit-forming! so I strongly suggest to triple the recipe and freeze some, this soup freezes excellent! You can adjust all ingredients to taste slightly."

this is an easy soup to make. I did reduce the amount of cumin for personal preference to 1 1/2 tsp. Thanks for the recipe.

Cilantro in Canada
Very delicious African flavors came from the onion, garlic, peanut butter and cumin. My DH liked it even more when he added a teaspoon of Frank's RedHot Cayenne Pepper Sauce (he prefers it to Tobasco) to his bowl. I tasted his and added some to mine, too -- it added a nice balance to the soup. We also served it with a dollop of sour cream. Yummy! Made for Tag-a-thon for Kittencal.
