First I want to thank MisVik for pointing out the Nutrition Data glitch. I rewrote the recipe for myself,to include the missing garbanzo calories & other nutrition info.
This was a great dish, I will make it again, but I will also double the spices since I like alot of flavor in my dishes. Yum! - 10/5/10

Delicious. I also added more peanut butter, but only to our individuals bowls..about 1 teaspoon more each. YUM! Also, I think I added too much liquid because it was kind of runny, so I took out my stick blender and blending about half of it, double YUM. I also added peas which was very good. Thanks! - 11/13/09

This recipe came from fatfreevegan.com, with two additions made to it. You should at least cite the source that you got this recipe. The soup itself is delicious -- I make it all the time from when I got it from that site. - 3/24/12

I haven't heard of that website, but I did post this in 2007, so maybe they got it from me? I'm not fat-free or vegan, so it wouldn't be the first place I'd look ;-)

Scrumptious! Kept the heat down with only 1 jalapeno and about half the red pepper flakes. Could have used more and I will increase in stages to suite me. Served with Naan and Ghee which complimented it beautifully. Cooked the green beans longer than the 15 mins called for. Delicious! Great recipe. - 3/5/12

I loved this! We will definitely make it again! I added chili powder, skipped the ginger (was out) and jalapenos (don't like), and subbed carrots for the last 1/2 lb. of sweet potatoes as I didn't have enough. My husband (meat lover) ate with rice and didn't even miss the meat. Very filling alone. - 2/5/12

I strayed quite a bit from the recipe. I used leftover curry roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes. I added some pureed roasted red pepper/sour cream sauce and used a cardomon spice blend. I did use the peanut butter, and vegetable broth and cilantro. I will make it again and again, delicious - 1/10/11

OH my gosh - I love this recipe! I took some of the leftovers to work and everyone who tried it wanted the recipe. I did add a little curry powder, but otherwise I stuck with the recipe. My husband ate four bowls at dinner and had more the next day for lunch. I will definitely make it again. - 9/20/10
