Cassava Leaf Soup

cassava leaves (or frozen)

avocado oil (or coconut oil)

onion

garlic

medium bell pepper (chopped)

tomato (chopped)

vegan bouillon

coconut milk

water

Scotch Bonnet pepper

peanut butter

Bring water to boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Remove the stems off of your cassava leaves and discard them.

Wash the cassava leaves, add them to the boiling water and boil for about 5 minutes. Make sure all the leaves are fully submerged in the boiling water.

Remove from heat and drain using a colander. Rinse and squeeze the cassava leaves.

Place the cassava leaves in a food processor and process until finely crumbled.

Add chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, green onions, tomato, and bouillon cubes in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth.

Heat a large saucepan with avocado oil over medium-high, add blended onion mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the blended cassava leaves, coconut milk, water, and Scotch bonnet pepper.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Add peanut butter and check the seasoning, then add salt to taste.

Instructions for using fresh cassava leaves:

Thaw frozen cassava leaves, and drain and rinse using a large fine-mesh strainer.

Add chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, green onions, tomato, and bouillon cubes in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.

Add the cassava leaves, coconut milk, water, and Scotch bonnet pepper.

Instructions for using frozen cassava leaves:

A delicious suggestion is adding par cooked or frozen broad beans like Lima beans or butter beans to the soup while it cooks. If you’re using par cooked versus frozen will determine how soon you add the beans, you want them to absorb some of the soup and turn creamy, but remain whole. This is often an important step in the best cassava leaves cooked by Sierra Leoneans. 💗💗
