Hot-and-Sour Asian Vegetable Soup

I want to like hot and sour soup. I found another recipe for it here that I'm going to try. I guess I want to like it so much because everyone is always raving about it. And it seems so..exotic? Fancy? to me. But I tried this. And I tried to love it. But it was only okay. In fact, I probably won't make it again. And I feel really bad about that. I'm pretty sure the soup was really good, it just wasn't my thing. So, you can try it. And you can try to love it. And then we can chat about how we just didn't. Or you can join the ranks of the elite and truly love it. Either way - here are its stats:

African-Inspired Quinoa-Peanut Soup

So good. So, so good. I made this several times over the course of as many weeks. And bragged about it to people at work. Creamy sweet potato, peanut butter base, quinoa and smooth zucchini blend together in a wonderful, delicious and filling soup. It's only flaw is that it needed a kick of salt to bring it together. I generally dislike adding salt to dishes but this needed it. And it was oh so good afterward that I forgot I cared about salt.
Make this. And don't share with your family - there will be more for you!
