Sweet Potato-Peanut Bisque

From EatingWell: September/October 2009

Wonderful and quick. I used chunky PB as it's what I had in the house and it worked nicely. Don't forget the cilantro!

Delicious and easy to make. I did put all the ingredients in the blender so that my children wouldn't see the chili's and onions and think I like it better that way. My son loved it and with a side salad it was quite filling. Definitely a comfort food.

Absolutely DELICIOUS....I too added cinnamon to change the flavor a bit for younger kids, but it was great...add a little design of creme fraiche on the top and it looks even more sophisticated. Will be making it over and over!

Did everything as the recipe required except for the addition of allspice but it still was delicious. Dip dry crispy baguette and they both taste even better!
