Introduction

A relatively healthy and very tasty soup that has a surprise ingredient ( peanut butter). People find it hard to guess the 'secret ingredient' until they know what it is...and then....the flavour becomes very apparent once they have been made aware.

    This looks really good, it's a little different from the peanut soup I usually make. I'm really looking forward to trying it since it's got the chickpeas! yum. - 11/17/12

    Incredible!
    What an awesome flavour this soup has. Depending on your family and friends you may want to cut back on the cayenne pepper. Great job Roz. It's quicly becoming a favourite of mine. - 12/5/09
