Great soup! I used less cayenne, and followed other reviewers and halved the oil and peanut butter to make this lower fat, and skipped the sugar and green onions (topped it with cilantro instead). The sweet potatoes were indeed done after 10 minutes. We like our soups chunky, so I did not puree it. Served 3 to 4 as an entree. This had great flavors that went well together!

    I thought I may end up making some adjustments since I like things spicy, but found that the flavor was so perfect that I didn't want to change it at all. Thanks for the great recipe.

    I made this as a trial for work on Monday. It is so good I can't believe it. Easy, fast, tasty and beautiful to look at, just what I wanted for my dinner next week (and I'm so glad that we got to eat the trial run!) I used a reduced-fat PB, added a tablespoon of lemon juice, and garnished the soup with cilantro. Thanks Friedel for a great recipe-now I must try your other soup (Garlic, Chick-pea and Spinach) I have in my cookbook.

    Delicious! I wasn't sure about the peanut flavor with soup, but it works surprisingly well. I altered a few things to what I had on hand (used less bell pepper, and honey roast peanut butter - omitting sugar.) I'm the only soup & vegie lover in my house, but I'm sure I'll finish off this pot of soup all by myself.
