With origins in West Africa, peanut soup, sometimes known as groundnut soup, is full of rich, full-bodied flavor. The nuttiness comes from peanut butter, which helps build flavor quickly. Serve this soup as an appetizer or as part of a Kwanzaa celebration.

Amazingly good and easy! I have to admit I was a little scared off by the idea of the peanut butter/ tomato soup combo but am so glad I tried it! I don't use condensed soups so opted for Amy's organic tomato soup (2 cans) and skipped the broth. I will be making this again and again and again!

Delicious, fast & easy. I didn't have tomato soup, used diced tomatoes. Tasted so fresh. Will definitely double the batch next time.

I have to second the "easy, fast and good" comment. We LOVE this soup and make it all the time. Make lots, 'cause it freezes well!
