Senegalese Chicken and Peanut Soup image

This is an award winning soup recipe. The soup should be silky and smooth but not thick; it should be spicy, but not too hot; it should have a sharpness of tomato and lemon, but not be sour; it should taste of peanuts, but not of peanut butter. It freezes beautifully. Note - I just adopted this one -- it was originally posted by my friend Mean Chef -- the intro is perfect and is exactly what you should be tasting in the final product! :-)

This soup is way too bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the soup turned out too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper.
