Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the raw peanuts on the baking sheet and roast for about 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the peanuts inside for another 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Transfer the roasted peanuts to a clean towel and rub the peanuts inside the towel to remove the skin. Try to remove as much skin as possible. It's okay if there are still a few peanuts with the skin on.

Step 2

Transfer the peanuts to a high-speed blender. Add the water and blend on high speed for about 1 minute. Strain the peanut milk through a nut milk bag.

Step 3

Pour the peanut milk into a medium saucepan. Add the full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup, glutinous rice flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Depending on how thick you want your soup, add more glutinous rice flour (make sure to dissolve it in a tablespoon of water before).

Step 4

Divide the peanut soup into small serving bowls, top with roasted peanuts, toasted sesame seeds, and a tiny drizzle of toasted sesame oil (omit if you are avoiding oil). Serve warm!

Step 5

This peanut soup will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
