Notes

  1. You can use honey instead, if you don't care about the peanut soup being vegan.
  2. I used a mild curry powder. If using a spicier curry powder, adjust the amount according to your heat tolerance.
  3. Salted or unsalted roasted peanuts, adjust the salt content of the soup accordingly.
