    Great recipe! Just wondering why you say it’s full of probiotics? We’re actually simmering the yogurt here, so surely the probiotics are cooked off??

    I also wonder about the peanut butter. Won’t a legume feed the bacteria or have some fungal properties? Why not use almond butter instead?

      True, but you could add the yogurt at the end and all won’t be lost. As for the peanuts I have never been lead to believe that there is any concern with eating them and in fact I have found that peanuts are very non reactive for me personally and I prefer them to almonds, plus it is an African Peanut soup so it kinda makes the dish in my opinion…If you are concerned with using them try the almond butter and let me know how it turns out!

    OMG! This soup is A-MAZING. I thought I would never taste flavour again after being diagnosed with SIBO. I just made it, and I haven’t even finished the bowl yet – I had to get to my laptop to say thank you! I never leave comments…this soup has shaken me right out of my life-will-always-suck-because-I-have-SIBO funk…woo hoo! I couldn’t find lactose-free yoghurt (and didn’t feel like making it), so I substituted lactose-free milk…still great. I will be glued to your site for more tasty recipes to lift my newly-diagnosed spirits.

    OMG! This recipe is SO GOOD! I just made last night, and had for my lunch with some Jasmine rice. I forgot to put the chard leaves in, but it’s great without it. Yum!!!
