Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Almost all of soy milk's flavor molecules (135 of 146) are also found in peanut, but peanut has 250 that soy milk lacks. Soy milk gives you part of peanut's character without most of its fruit. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
