1 ham hock

This soup is a waste of time. It's bland and flavorless. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I didn't like this soup at all. The peanut butter flavor was overpowering, and the soup was too thick and oily. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This soup is okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. The peanut butter flavor is a bit too subtle for me. I probably wouldn't make this again.

This soup is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The peanut butter gives it a really nice flavor. I would probably make it again, but I would use less cayenne pepper.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I really liked this soup. The peanut butter flavor is subtle, and it really complements the other flavors in the soup. I would definitely make this again.

I love this soup! It's so creamy and flavorful. I always add a little extra peanut butter to make it even more peanutty. It's a great soup to serve with rice or bread.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make it even more hearty. It was a delicious and easy meal that my whole family enjoyed.
