It’s the perfect blend of creamy, savory and sweet.

The peanuts, lime and cilantro are all great ways to bring a little extra to this soup. It also gives your kids and other pickier eaters a little way to make it their own and be involved in the process.

Blending up veggies into a soup is also a great way to get lots of nutrient dense foods into a meal.
