While comforting and nutritious, this spicy peanut soup is also seductively fragrant and bursting with exciting flavor. The broth of coconut milk, peanut, shallot and chili pepper brings bites of chopped kale, mushrooms and sweet potato into exotic territory. Incorporating gochujang, a savory, sweet and spicy fermented chili condiment popular in Korean cooking, it has just the right balance of creaminess and kick.
