I loved this but if serving to kids be careful of the heat. I would never have mixed PB in this soup but it was very yummy. I didn't have enough creamy PB so I mixed it with crunchy as well and I loved the little crunch with the nuts. ENJOY!

I would not have thought of a Thai spin on sweet potatoes. The combination of ingredients really worked though! I used extra (baked sweet potatoes, extra ginger, and less peanut butter. The combination of the spicy pepper, the veggies, and the peanut butter really fills you up. This is a healthy meal that will warm you right up and stick to your ribs, unlike most soups. It's a fun soup! Pretty to serve, too. (I bet a dollop of sour cream/yogurt would be a cool contrast on top.

This is a very good soup and pretty easy to make. I thought the 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne was fine but if you are unsure start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. The peanut butter wasn't overpowering at all. Something about the sweet, nutty, spicy flavor is warming especially on these -20 degree days in Northern Wisconsin. Make sure you use natural peanut butter because the regular peanut butter has sugar and shortening in it adding to the calories.

I made this soup last night, and really enjoyed it. I'm fairly new to cooking, and this was easy enough for anyone to make. My recommendations: the spice is a little intense, so if you don't like spicy food I would halve the cayenne pepper. Also, I used chunky peanut butter, and LOVED the texture/flavor of the chopped peanuts in the soup!! It really added dimension. I'll definitely make it again, although I might leave some cooked sweet potato in the soup after it's blended.

I loved it. Made it for my husband, at first he was cool to the soup (not a cayenne person, but I made it again for Thanksgiving and we froze some for his brother, ate our share, and loved it even more. All the ingredients as far as I am concern, the cayenne, sweet potato and the peanut butter are so much fun to put together, but would not think they would work together. The first time I had creamy PB, the next time crunchy. One of my very favorite recipes from now on....
God Bless you Ellie, if this is your original, great. If not, sure am glad I saw your program, copied it and made it. Those foods are good for us, we are trying to manage high blood pressure and control colesterol as well. Keep up the great work.

I made this soup fir a Thanksgiving dinner party. It was so popular that I am making it again on Thanksgiving day for my family. It was very spicy to others, I loved the heat but will use half the pepper when I make it again.
My changes: I added a 1/2 cup celery (had on hand an needed to use, 1/2 can of pumpkin, 1 more cup of vegatable broth (did not use chicken stock, I also reduced the peanut butter slightly even with adding these extras.
THEN: I made a cranberry and apple relish that I found on this site and spooned it on top. The cool cold relish was delish with the creamy spicy soup. Will make again and again.

Regardless of the changes you make it is a great recipe!!

This soup will be great the next time I make it. The red pepper is overpowering and next time will use 1/4 tsp. It's bursting with nutrients!

This soup was easy to make, but I found the peanut butter flavor to be too much. If I was to make it again, I would definitely cut down on the PB, or leave it out all together. Otherwise it was very flavorful and loaded with veggies, so I'm not going to give up on this recipe all together.

I saw this recipe and wanted to do it. After reading the reviews I had to! I loved it! So did my husband. It is so creamy without any cream at all! The only thing that I would be careful is about the cayenne pepper. I put 1/2 teaspoon but it came out to spice for my taste. I will put a little less next time. Thanks Ellie!

I used a tbs of fresh garlic and ginger and replaced the cayenne pepper with two canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I love a spicy soup and this really fit the bill. Fantastic! Served with toasted whole wheat pita and roasted garlic. Yummy!
