    Sounds good but I personally would add a couple other things and tweak some others to increase protein and use all organic.

    Iโ€™d replace some of the vegetable broth with full fat organic coconut milk. For those of us who eat seafood, I think precooked shrimp would be yummy in your soup and add protein and color. Iโ€™d also use sodium free homemade broth and organic salt-free peanutbutter.

    Iโ€™d like to know what kind of red pepper you like to use in this soup, how big, or the measured amount.

    Thank you! Looking forward to make a batch SOON
