Creamy African Peanut Soup

This is a really rich, warmly flavored soup – it tastes like… nothing I can describe. Peanutty, curry-y, deliciousness?

Soup for me is the greatest comfort in the world. A bowl of soup is my go to for lunches, or dinners when it’s just me. I just love how filling it is, and how quickly I can eat it! I’m a busy person, sometimes – lunch just isn’t going to be a 1 hour period of time. Slurping some yummy soup fills my belly, feeds my soul, and keeps the “hangries” away. I’d never HEARD of African Peanut Soup, but when you have all the ingredients, and you’re game to try something new… it’s ON. This is an old Weight Watchers recipe I had laying about to try, and I’m so glad I finally got around to making this!! Vegetarians and Vegans will love this one, as WELL as carnivores like my family.

Do you love soup all year round? What are your favorites? A couple of mine are this Broccoli Cheddar Soup and this Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup. Try them out!
