Well, Jonathon, just had to let you know how much we liked the soup! I did it tonight for dinner, along with tea biscuits which my wife made, and we had a last minute, non ch-er, stay for dinner, and surprise, he liked it also! Maybe I did'nt make it hot enuf...I did use Calvin's powder instead of cayenne, and I did not add a couple of chopped habs, which I will do next time for certain, otherwise it was really good, and the peanut butter sets it off, if you use a good homemade chicken stock...also Thai rice, the only kind I use. All in all, very good, my thanks to you for posting it. Cheers, Doug in BC
