TIPS:
Anyone who enjoys Thai peanut sauce will love this addictively good soup. Ground turkey and sweet potatoes stud this coconut milk and curry-infused soup, flavored with just a hint of peanut butter. For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth,
and leave out the turkey or replace it with cooked garbanzo beans.
