Cream of Curried Peanut Soup

Woke up early and got a start on this soup. After it was all done, I clued in this would be better as a winter dish. Boy, do I need to be careful with my cayenne, which is particularly spicy. The first few sips were very hot, but once that tongue was numbed a bit, this was quite flavorful. Beetle did not like this despite the peanut butter.
