This soup is definitely unique and delicious! It's very thick and rich, and the flavors all go together wonderfully! I was intrigued by the thought of peanut butter in my soup, but was a little unsure of how it would turn out. I ended up loving it! What a nice change from the norm.

Lovely recipe!! I was looking for something different for a light lunch and this was it. I followed directions to the letter, used Pippin apples and everyone really enjoyed it. I also liked the smell while cooking, it put me into the Autumn spirit!
