Ginger Peanut Soup

[venomousangel77]

this was yummmmmy ! I changed the cauliflower to carrots and added a block tofu ( for protien since me and the boy are fitness freaks )

Hmm.  I liked this, very much (as did my omni brother), but we both felt it a little rich to eat too much of.  I added a couple carrots, replaced a tablespoon or two of the PB with cashew butter and threw some crushed, roasted cashews on top--served it with nice thick slices of whole wheat mutltigrain bread topped with my own pesto-mayo.  I like this bread best with a hearty chili, but it worked well with this soup too!

This was a really good soup I'm sure I will be making it again.

I wish there was a way to make it more...PEANUTTY....

Yell, you could add more peanut butter. (o:

This soup is outrageously good. It's creamy and spicy and tomato-y and it really warms you up. I threw in a bag of mixed stir-fry veggies instead of just broccoli and cauliflower and served it with jasmine rice.

I give this recipe 4 stars. I changed it a bit, but I have to say I think it is missing a little something, but I can't put my finger on it! :-P I started out only making the original recipe, until I realized I had too many veggies. I used 1-1/2 bags (I think 12 oz.) of broccoli and cauliflower mix, added green onions, a handful of chopped baby carrots, a large onion, and a block of tofu that had been frozen, thawed, and pressed. I then realized this was way too much, so I doubled the liquid, peanut butter, and spices. I used only 1 28 oz. can of tomatoes -- any more would have been WAY too much! I used 10 cloves of garlic. I also used quite a bit more peanut butter -- maybe even too much peanut butter, although I didn't think that was possible.  I served it with the Luscious Coconut Bread on this site (YUM!) and they complemented each other very well. I added about 1/4 cup toasted coconut to the soup and topped it with more for garnish. It was quite good (and made TONS once you double it), but it needs a little extra something. If someone figures out what it is, let me know!

Oh, and I just wanted to add that I HIGHLY recommend that everyone add the frozen/thawed/pressed tofu. That's the best part of this soup, of which I am eating the leftovers right now. :-)

Really yummy!  I changed the recipe a bit too... no cauliflower, doubled the broccoli, added spinach, tofu and green lentils.  Added extra peanut butter, garlic and ginger and also some balsamic vinegar!  Sounds a bit weird, but it's really good!  Def making this again.

I was disappointed, and I had been so excited to make this!  I think I could do better next time if I could stand to risk ruining dinner again.  20 minutes at a simmer was too long for the broccoli and cauliflower - they got all nasty and mushy.  the broth didn't taste like PB, despite adding extra, and it kind of congealed and was gummy.  I ate a bowl of it fresh and it was okay, but we ended up throwing out a TON of leftovers that were gross.  I did add potatoes, carrots, and tofu and those sturdier vegetables did well.  I might make the PB part like a sauce instead of a broth.  oh, and definitely add the coconut.

at least the photo looks nice.

 AMAZING!!!!  And, even better the next day. Made as listed.

Wonderful soup! We loved this. I made it pretty much as the recipe indicated, with a few slight changes. I was careful not to overcook the vegetables, per other comments. I also used no-chicken broth, and added more cayenne and ginger, because we like spicy food. Thanks for a VERY easy and delicious meal. We had this with the coconut bread others recommended. A fresh salad with some pomegranate seeds and a citrusy dressing would make this the freaking perfect-est meal.

second time i made this soup. i love it. however, i suggest you add twice the amount of ginger if not more, an extra clove of garlic, much more peanut butter, more cayenne, and for sure you should use a fake chicken broth instead of water. i added diced potatoes, stared them at the same time as the onions. YUM.

This soup is absolutely delish. I've made it about 5 or 6 times now; my husband and I love it! Since we're not big cauliflower fans, instead I add twice as much broccoli. Also I add more ginger, cayenne (we like it hot!), veggie stock, and peanut butter. Both of us came down with the flu this week, and man, did this soup hit the spot! And yes, I agree, it still tastes great the next day!

I really loved this soup!  Passed the recipe on to everyone i knew     definitely a soup i will crave when i am sick and need something with lots of flavor... Thinking about making some more and freezing it for "emergencies"
oh - and i also added the shredded carrots.  good addition

I went into this soup a bit warily...PB in soup usually spells "disaster" in my experience...but maybe my palate has changed since I went veg! I used Tabasco instead of cayenne but it was excellent all ways.
