Superb African Peanut Soup | Hurry The Food Up

Rich and spicy peanut soup is an ultra comforting and flavorful dish that everyone will love. The pantry staple ingredients make this hearty soup easy to prepare in just 30 minutes.

Spicy Peanut Soup

onion,

garlic,

ginger

sweet potato,

red chili flakes

chickpeas,

kale,

1/2-1 teaspoon salt, to taste

brown or white rice

chopped cilantro

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Now add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant. Add the diced sweet potato and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the cumin, chili flakes, tomato paste, broth, peanut butter and chickpeas to the pot. Stir very well, until the tomato paste and peanut butter have mostly dissolved into the broth. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes have softened.

Once the sweet potatoes have softened, use a large wooden spoon to mash some of the sweet potatoes against the side of the pot, which will help thicken the soup.

Add the chopped kale, stir and cover the pot. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, until the kale is tender. Taste; add more salt if needed or extra chili flakes for more spice.

Serve immediately with a scoop of rice, chopped cilantro, peanuts, hot sauce or more chili flakes, if desired. Enjoy!

Leftovers will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
