Pretty good soup, I liked the blended airy texture. Not quite as good as the other African peanut soup recipe on this site though, in my opinion. Still good though. I garnished mine with freeze dried cilantro and served it with whole wheat bread.

This was absolutely delicious. I'm not a measuring cook, so I really seasoned this as I saw fit. It was very flavorful and exactly as I had remembered it from a restaurant where I first tasted it. The only thing that could have made mine better was ground coriander as the recipe called for. I only had whole, and had to crush it between a napkin with the side of my chef's blade. Also, this dish can be fantastic without peanuts. I made a separate dish for my daughter who is allergic to nuts, and she had seconds. My hubby, other daughter and I all thought it entirely a meal unto itself. No one asked for anything else with it!

Made this into a backpacking recipe using instant mashed sweet potatoes, chunky peanut butter, and tofu. Delicious. A big hit with my 4 hungry male friends. I'm excited to follow the actual recipe now!

This recipe was delicious, but it took me two and a half hours to make! However, it was well worth the work and wait.

Couldn't taste the sweet potato at all, only the peanuts. I had to add more cayenne to spice it up.

Overall I liked this soup, but was expecting it to have more flavor. The only substitution that I did were canned whole tomatoes instead of the fresh ones. I felt that nuts didn't add anything to the taste, but didn't like the gritty texture, so I'll probably just skip them. Also I added only 1 tbsp of peanut butter after tasting the soup.

I really wanted to like this, but I thought it was bland or something was missing. Probably used have used others suggestions to improve, but unfortunately, it was too much time and effort to try this one again.

This soup is marvelous. When it came time to puree it, I ran into some problems - my food processor wouldn't turn on, our blender started to smoke when I plugged it in, and I ended up *trying* to use a hand held mixer. I got most of the sweet potatos pureed, but there were some carrot and mushroom (I added them because I love them) chunks still. I don't recommend using this method - it got pretty messy. However, this did not affect the taste in anyway. I took some advice and used the reduced-fat super chunky peanut butter, and added a lot more spices than the recipe calls for. It tastes great.

LOVE this. It's part of my regular rotation of recipes -- I make it for company (it always makes an impression!), or I make a ton of it and pack the left-overs for school or work lunches. It's even better reheated! I don't make any changes except substituting a generous amount of garam masala for the cumin - cloves. It's a comparable mix of spices with a little something extra.

As is, I give it a 4 star. I actually used 4 cups of vegetable broth, 2 cups of chicken broth, 2 loaded tsps of cumin and coriander, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne, about 4 tbls of peanut butter, and added half of a jalepeno pepper. I omitted the peanuts and used chunky peanut butter instead. With the revisions, it came out much more flavorful and delicious. We paired this with a simple tuna melt which was divine.

Yum! I trimmed this down to serve 2. I doubled the peanut butter and added more cumin and coriander. I used Kraft natural peanut butter, which has a wonderfully strong peanuty taste. The soup was fantastic! Peanut-y and rich, with a delicious, complex flavour. Wonderful! Both of us really enjoyed it & I will certainly make it again.

I was slightly disappointed at first, but like others have commented, the soup definitely improves overnight, and I was quite happy with it the next day. I used slightly more chunky peanut butter than called for and omitted the chopped peanuts.

This was one of those recipes that I really wanted to like but just didn't. After following the recipe I thought it was bland, and it still was even after I dumped in more spices at the end. Also, I didn't like the gritty texture from the peanuts and it was a chore to finish off the leftovers. This soup has potential, but next time I'd try a recipe with more spices and more peanut butter.

This was fantastic! We used crunchy peanut butter and lightly salted crushed peanuts(plastic bag and hammer). We did add a little extra hots with crushed red pepper at the very beginning and extra cayenne pepper. We also used chicken stock instead of plain water. Next time we are going to shred the cilantro and add into the soup as well use it for presentation.

If I had the option I would have given this 3.5 stars. It was ok but not fabulous. It seemed to be missing something but I'm not quite sure what. It was almost like the spices didn't quite come through. The cayenne at the end helped a lot but I'm not sure I will make this again. I think I will just continue to search for a better sweet potato soup recipe.

This recipe was ok. It was easy to make and not bad. But it also wasn't great. Just unimpressive. I think I expected it to be a little spicier and I even added more cayenne than the recipe said.
