West African Peanut Soup Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 6)
Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2007
I made this for an ethnic food pot luck at church. But after I let my husband and daughter try it, I chickened out of taking it. They hated it! I thought it was alright, but VERY different. Not the kind of food for small-town folk. You can't eat very much of it in a sitting. It would make a better side dish than a main.

Really thick soup. Good if you like peanuts a lot.

The flavor of this soup is wonderful. However, I think the cooking time was way too long - the finely chopped vegetables turned into mush before the rice was cooked. I would recommend coarsely chopping the veggies and cooking them until they're just tender, then adding pre-cooked rice.

Well i wanted a "different" soup and this is certainly unlike any other i have tasted- Thanks for the awsome idea! It is very filling (you dont really need bread). My housemate said it was the nicest soup she'd ever tasted. I agree it was very tasty- although i think you'd have to like peanut butter to enjoy it to the max!

This is a good vegetarian recipe with ingredients that I almost always have on hand. Peanut butter in soup is a little different than the usual veggies which makes for a plesant change.

The only reservation I had is that the taste although terrific seemed more like a side dish and not a main entree. I am vegetarian, but my bf who loves meat decided to eat frozen food after taking two bites. This is the first time he did not eat what I made. This was a really, really unique taste and I think most will be pleased I will make again and I froze the leftovers.

A strange soup for sure, but so good. The name alone blows people's minds. It's very hearty, so be sure to serve with something light, like a salad.

This is delicious and very easy. I added Lawry's Seasoning Salt and more rice to make it heartier.

This is just like the groundnut soup here in West Africa. I add chicken to it and I use chicken broth instead of vegetable.
