I fell in love with peanut soup when I visited Suriname 10 years ago. I never posted the Surinamese version, but when I saw this curry recipe from Vantastic, I thought I could transform it to a brand new spin on my usual recipe, and I was right.
This soup definitely has a Thai vibe, but the strawberries just are fun. Why not?
I promise I'll post my Surinamese soup down the line. It's crazy easy, but super heavy on peanut butter, so you know not exactly healthy... though neither is today's recipe.
Inspirations: Vantastic Foods and My Trip to Suriname

Salt, to taste
Handful of fresh basil, chopped for garnish
