I love this recipe! I've made it a few times. I prefer to add another large sweet potato, a little extra onion, and at least 1/2 of a red bell pepper. My mom likes the 2T of peanut butter, but I find it a little strong, so I only use 1&1/2T. Medium salsa gives it the perfect amount of spice along with the cumin.

This delicious soup turned out very thick, almost more of a stew. Great flavor and easy to make. Definitely a keeper.

Very nice. I made it with my 10 year old. We liked it very much and my son enjoyed having the rest of the family guess that peanut butter was the secret ingredient. :)

Excellent soup, though it didn't strike me as particularly spicy or African, save for the use of yams. Maybe "African-inspired?" But semantics aside, this was one worth sharing and making again. It's also delicious with the salsa left out -- I prefer it that way; one could always substitute ground cayenne pepper for some heat.

I really enjoyed making and eating this soup. I didn't have any zuccini, but I had some celery that needed to be used up so I added it at the beginning with the onions and sweet potatoes. This was only change I made to the recipe. The soup was deliscious, attractive, filling and healthy. I'll definitely make it again. It was as spicy as I was expecting (based on the name), but that's probably because I used medium salsa. My boyfriend thought it was amazing and said it was the best soup he'd had in a long time, maybe even ever.

Good. I used organic vegetable broth instead of chicken and also added curry powder. I think I would double the zucchini next time.

I had never made anything like this and was a little worried about it. I am so happy that I was adventurous because it was amazing. Very hearty and flavorful. It still tasted great when it came out of the freezer 1 month later.

I think I put too much peanut butter in, which ruined it for me. I doubled it, and wished I hadn't. If I try it again I think I'll keep PB the same, get hot salsa instead of medium or add some hot sauce to it!

I left out the rice and doubled the cumin and thynme. Other than that, I followed the recipe just as written. I did not fine mine bad looking, but I think all that depends on how you cut your vegetables, etc. I left my onions and zucchini in big chunks and cut my potatoes up small. I would double the peanut butter next time - I was disappointed that I couldn't really taste it as is. This wasn't bad, but not great. I think African Peanut Soup on this site is much better.

This was a nice change! I added red peppers to the mix for some added color. Next time I make this I think I'll omit the rice, and serve it on the side, kind of like an African jambalaya!

I inadvertantly omitted garbanzo beans--it was delicious without them. This recipe has become a winter favorite for our family (kids--something about peanut butter in soup makes them eat it!).

after tinkering with this recipe, i ended up with more of a stew than a soup (although the recipe as submitted is pretty darn good!). i prefer a fuller stew. i added almost a full cup of crunchy peanut butter (for a nicely added crunch and to make it creamier), substituted the cumin for curry. I also added a minced jalapeno pepper along with a full jar of hot chunky salsa. i omitted the rice and added chopped chicken. I had some red peppers, so i chopped them up and threw them in. yum! even my daughter, who is not a big veggie lover, really enjoys this recipe! thank you!!

this soup is excellent as is! but... there's always room for experiments!! this is great with leftover rice thrown in too or served with crunchy tortilla strips. my kids are fussy if they see what's in the soup so i pureed it into a nice thick chowder. served with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of lime. AWESOME.

I was intrigued by the peanut butter in this soup and must say I was very impressed! I love this dish and will gladly prepare it again. We have even dehydrated a portion so we can enjoy it on a backpacking trip!

Excellent and so easy to throw together. I used black beans in exchange for garbanzo beans and crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth - the nuts were a great addition. Since I'm vegetarian, I used veggie broth instead of chicken and thickened it up by using my hand held blender. Fantastic soup! Thank you for posting this recipe!

Wow! This is absolutely delicious! My partner hates yams but agreed to "taste" mine and loved it so much that we ended up making another pot and eating all of it!! We used a can of stewed tomatoes instead of salsa and used a wild rice medley that we added uncooked and allowed it to soak up the flavor of the soup. Tha

Simple with readily available ingredients, but my hubby said that "Spicy" in the title is a misnomer. I think you either have to use a hot salsa (I used mild) or add some red pepper flake. Either way I enjoyed and is a fun change of pace on a chilly day.
