Nora’s Notes:
This recipe can from a soup swap with a neighbor. I got some of her West African Peanut Soup and she got some of the Mushroom Soup and some Pumpkin Soup.
This is a soup that is way better the next day. Give it time to get all the flavors come together!
Most importantly, this is one of Coup’s favorite dishes cause I cook an extra thing of rice and poach an extra chicken breast let cool and then drizzle with creamy peanut butter.
