Skinny African Peanut Soup

It is no secret that I love spicy foods. Recently I wrote an article over at Coupons.com sharing how spicy foods can speed up your metabolism. It reminded me of an amazing soup we make in our Knives Skills Cooking Class. If you like it hot you will love this Skinny African Peanut Chicken Soup.

It was a class hit, but we had to win them over. Some times people roll their eyes in a bit of disdain when we first discussed it and then they tried it. Hands down it was their favorite soup of the evening.

Flavors of curry, coriander and cayenne mix with the readiness of coconut milk and peanut butter. I used reduced fat. Though it has 9 Weight Watchers points, it is super high in protein and very filling. You can adjust the heat by adding a little less cayenne and then taste. I cool it off with a tablespoon of greek yogurt.
