ISO soup recipe from Healthy Choice contest?

[Muggins]

I'm trying to find a recipe for a chicken soup featured as a winning recipe in a recipe contest using Healthy Choice ingredients. I think it had black beans, sweet potato and Healthy choice chicken and rice soup as ingredients. I have my back issues but just can't seem to locate it. HELP???

I think that it is the African Peanut soup and it is from 1999. I don't have it in front of me right now, but everyone raves about it. Maybe one of our Master Chef wonders may be nice enough to post it. Or you can do a search as it has been talked about here a lot.

Wendy, thanks for the prompt. I copied this recipe but haven't made it yet and wouldn't have recognized it. Muggins, here you go:

THANK YOU WENDY AND BETH!! AFrican Peanut SOup is exactly the recipe I was looking for!
I have made it in the past and my whole family loves it, but I never copied the recipe. I'll be sure to do it this time! If you haven't tried this soup, it is a WINNER!

Hey no problem Muggins. That's what we're here for. I hope to make this some day myself - in addition to a gazillion other recipes.

Wendy and Muggins, if you haven't tried this yet, it is really good. I had roasted chicken left over from the weekend and a sweet potato I had been planning on baking earlier, so I made it and doubled it. The recipe says its better made ahead, but it was awfully good served just a couple of minutes after it was finished. This is like Peanutty Noddles in that it hits a certain spot for something just a little off the ordinary. This one, CL's Instant Black Bean Soup and the Chicken or Pork Curry soup posted a while back are all repeaters here.

I was wondering about the two nutritional analysis listings. Is the second one a mistake? I would like to make this for my SIL, who was recently diagnosed with diabetes II. TIA
