Notes

  • While this peanut soup is not necessarily a vegan soup, I prefer keeping it that way so everyone can enjoy it! But feel free to swap the veggie broth with chicken or beef for more flavor if you prefer!
  • The secret thickener I use in this Peanut Soup is quick cooking oats. They add a nice nutty taste to the soup and enhance the texture.
