15-Minute Peanut Soup

Serves 4, Total Time 15 minutes

We wholeheartedly believe there is more to soup than tomatoes - which is why we have come up with this nutty alternative. Taking inspiration from some of our fav Thai dishes, we think this peanut soup will have you converted. The leftovers are also perfect served with rice, pitta or slurped.
