West African Peanut Soup image

Tomatoes and peanut butter? YES! The first time I tried this at a health food restaurant, I was hooked. About 5 years of tweaking the recipe to my personal taste has created a spicy, sweet favorite amongst my friends and family. Luckily there is always enough for everyone!

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I decided to give this soup a try and I'm so glad I did! The peanut butter flavor is subtle and it really complements the other flavors in the soup. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used a bit more peanut butter than the recipe called for, and it gave the soup a really nice rich flavor. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro, which gave it a fresh and flavorful twist.
