    Wow! Complex, multi-layered soup. Vegetarian wife says one of the best soups she's had. I grow my own hot chili peppers which are extremely hot and I used only one which gave it a spicy kick without being too hot(I like heat so even this one might be too much for others. Natural peanut butter and coconut milk meld perfectly with this dish. I served a side of poached salmon to go with my serving.

    Changed: Marsala wine vs. sherry, and did not strain - We like thicker soup.
