Very good soup.
I used crunchy peanut butter & extra ginger for mine and turned out well.

Perfect. Thanks for the feedback

Sounds good but I personally would add a couple other things and tweak some others to increase protein and use all organic.
I’d replace some of the vegetable broth with full fat organic coconut milk. For those of us who eat seafood, I think precooked shrimp would be yummy in your soup and add protein and color. I’d also use sodium free homemade broth and organic salt-free peanutbutter.
I’d like to know what kind of red pepper you like to use in this soup, how big, or the measured amount.
Thank you! Looking forward to make a batch SOON
