This truly is a five star soup. I'm not exaggerating when I say this - this is the Best Soup I've Ever Had. And I'm utterly flabbergasted that something I made has earned this title. I made my second batch yesterday and a good friend - a friend who knows me and thinks well of me - looked at me cockeyed when I tried to assure him that, yes, I made it and hadn't picked it up from a restaurant. With every subsequent bite he took - I'm pretty sure I heard him mumbling: Liar.

As everyone else has reported--FANTASTIC!! My 12 lady friends ALL thought it was excellent (even the picky one:) as I served it for a luncheon/card get together. Chickens were on sale so I bought two, one for the freezer, cooked the other Sunday in the Crockpot and made the soup yesterday based on others' reviews saying it was better the day following. In the process of trying to find all the ingredients (particularly the yellow curry paste and the sambal oelek chili paste), I luckily found a new Asian SUPERmarket in Tucson which not only had exactly what I wanted but SO much more. I made a batch and a half which was more than adequate for 12 (even had some left over). I cut down on the cayenne a bit in consideration for some of the ladies and as they said, "It's spicy but not really hot--just has a nice bite." I encourage all you are debating to take the plunge. You won't be sorry you did. It's an exciting change from all the usual soups we ge caught up in making routinely. Thank you so much for posting; this will be made often!!

I was searching for a recipe for Senegalese Chicken and Peanut Soup and after coming across several different versions I finally settled this one. WOW! It's exactly what I was looking for. Absolutely delicious. I will definitely make it again. It was a huge hit with two of my husband's friends who popped by just after I made it and wanted to know what smelled so good.
Had to make a couple of substitutions: My grocery store only had Green Curry Paste or Red Curry Paste in the Thai food section so I chose the green. And I could not find any red chili paste so I used 1tsp of hot sauce instead. Not sure how much of a difference these changes made but they worked out just fine.
I kept trying to figure out if there was anything I would change when I make it again and I couldn't come up with anything to really change the taste. It's just right the way it is. I might try adding some rice in when I add the tomatoes and stock to make it a bit more like a stew than a soup just to see how that could change it up. But overall if you are a fan of Thai or Indian food this will be a hit.

This is a very flavorful soup and I loved the ingredients; however, I felt the soup would have been better with a thicker consistency. I may thicken the leftovers up a bit to see if I like the change. Overall, this was a very tasty dish.

Followed the recipe exactly. We really enjoyed this soup, but I guess I was expecting a little more from all the reviews. Really good, but I can't honestly say it was the best soup I ever had.

This has got to be one of my favorite soups. I used smooth peanut butter as that was all I had. I like things very spicy, so I added a heaping tablespoon of sambal oleck. I used a store bought BBQ chicken. This freezes well. Thanks Rita

This was great!!!! My only complaint is that we were sick of eating it as leftovers after a few days since the flavours are so distinct. Dont get me wrong though, there is NOTHING wrong with this recipe. It deserves the full 5 stars!!!!

5 Stars! Taste is very authentic which originates from Senegal, Africa - but tastes too like traditional Thai, and is of Restaurant quality. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

This was amazing! I made it vegan by subbing the chicken broth with vegetable broth and in place of the chicken I added sweet potatoes, russet potatoes and corn. I used red curry paste, but only used 1/2 tbsp. and I also halved the cayenne and red chili paste. Delicious!

This was amazing! The first bite was delicious... and each bite after that got better and better. I made it the day before I served it with broth and meat left over from a large roast chicken. Have to repeat an earlier reviewer - if I could give it more than 5 stars I certainly would. It is divine.

Great soup! At first I was disappointed; I couldn't find the yellow curry paste, and because of other reviews, I didn't want to substitute the green or red paste. I added a little extra curry powder, but when I was finished, it just tasted like it was missing something. So I found a recipe for yellow curry paste, and found that it had ginger and corriander (among other things!), which I had. I added some fresh grated ginger and corriander, and some brown sugar (the peanut butter I used didn't have any, thought that might have made a difference, too) and now it ROCKS. I hope I can find curry paste, because I'm sure it will be even better!

This is a very tasty, flavorful, rich soup. My family just loved it and I served it with a fresh-baked baguette as I normally do when I make soup. I can't wait to make it again. This is worth the effort and it's like taking a flavor vacation.

This soup is sooooo good. The first time I made it I had 2 big bowls! I like to throw in a couple handfuls of peanuts. It is also good over rice.

We had this for dinner yesterday. It is pretty easy and has great flavor. I did poach two chicken breasts earlier in the day then proceeded with the recipe. I was a little nervous as DH doesn't like peanut butter. He loved the soup. I made half a recipe and have a little leftover for lunch today. This was not hot in flavor so may add more chili paste next time. I served it with poppodums and they were great.

Awesome soup - we used it with leftover Christmas turkey and it was delicious, with a depth of flavor and very filling. I didn't have any of the chili paste and used green instead of yellow curry paste, but it was still awesome. Can't wait for slurping up some leftovers with brown rice!
