Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Drain beans.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high.
- When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then onions.
- Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
- Add chili-garlic sauce and Indian Spice Mix. Cook for 30 sec, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Meanwhile, to a medium bowl, add soy sauce, peanut butter, stock powder and 1 cup (2 cups) hot water. Whisk until smooth.
- To the pot with onions, add beans, sweet potatoes, peppers, soup base and 1 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover and cook for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, arrange flatbreads on an unlined baking sheet.
- Brush tops with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Gently press down on sesame seeds to adhere.
- Broil in the middle of the oven for 3-5 min, until sesame seeds are golden. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.)
- Quarter flatbreads.
- Divide soup between bowls. Sprinkle cilantro over top.
- Serve flatbreads alongside for dipping.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The peanut and spice flavours were enjoyed by many, though some felt the peanut taste did not come through strongly enough. Adding extra peanut butter, soy sauce, or a dollop of labneh per serving can help round out the flavour.
- Ease of prep: Most found the recipe straightforward to follow; watch the flatbreads closely under the broiler, as they can burn in less time than the instructions suggest.
- Suggestions: Boost the peanut flavour by adding extra peanut butter, and consider using only half the chili-garlic sauce if you prefer a milder heat. Some reviewers also added lentils, kale, or an extra sweet potato to make the soup heartier.
- Leftovers: The soup is filling and yields generous portions; some found the broth a bit thin, so simmering uncovered for a few extra minutes can help thicken it up.
