African Peanut Soup Recipe
Whatever individual joys and revelations may have arisen during the Des Moines Meditation and Mindfulness Group's all-day retreat on January 16th, collective joy was revealed in the vegetarian soup served to the group for lunch.

Put the above in a BIG pot with:

3 16oz cans of garbanzo beans, drained
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. thyme
3 cups thick and chunky salsa - mild, medium or hot -( ex. Pace salsa)
Cook all until the potato and zucchini are done then add:
3 cups cooked rice
2/3 cups peanut butter
Serves around 20 people
