1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 cup diced zucchini
½ cup cooked rice
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

This soup was a waste of time. The flavors were all wrong and the soup was way too spicy. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it helped, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. I would recommend it to someone who is looking for a mild and easy soup.

I love the combination of flavors in this soup. The yam is soft and creamy, the tomatoes are tangy, and the spices are perfectly balanced. I also love the addition of coconut milk, which gives the soup a rich and creamy texture.

This was a delicious and easy soup to make. I used canned tomatoes and yams to save time, and it still turned out great. I also added a little bit of chicken broth to give it a more savory flavor. I will definitely be making this again!
