African Peanut Soup

peanut oil oil

onion, (diced)

garlic cloves, (minced)

ginger

cumin

cardamom

cayenne pepper, (or to taste)

vegetable broth, (plus more as needed)

peanut butter*

tomato paste

maple syrup

curly kale leaves,

Salt and pepper, (to taste)

rice

Roasted peanuts, (roughly chopped)

cilantro

Coat the bottom of a large pot with the oil and place over medium heat.

When the oil is hot, add the onion. Sweat the onion, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.

Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, cardamom, and cayenne. Cook everything for about 1 minute more, until fragrant.

Add the broth, peanut butter, tomato paste and maple syrup to the pot. Stir well to fully blend everything (a whisk works great here). Add the sweet potato, raise the heat, and bring the liquid to a boil.

Lower the heat and allow the soup to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. You can thin the soup with some extra broth or water if it becomes too thick.

Stir in the kale. You may need to add a bit at a time and let each addition wilt to make room for the next.

Let the mixture continue simmering for 5 to 10 minutes, until the kale is tender and the soup is thick.

Remove the pot from heat and season the soup with salt to taste. Adjust any other seasonings to your liking.

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a scoop of rice, chopped peanuts and cilantro. Serve.

Peanut butter soup is a rich, creamy and savory dish known for its unique texture and blends of flavors. This protein-rich dish is a perfect choice to warm yourself up and get cozy in winters.

Peanut Butter Soup

peas

vegetable broth

tomatoes (chopped)

sweet potato (chopped)

onion

garlic (chopped)

tomato sauce

peanut butter

kale leaves

vegan bouillon cube (or sea salt to taste)

Sort the split peas and wash them twice to get rid of dirt and dust.

Add them to a large pot and pour vegetable stock over it.

Place the pot on medium heat. Let it boil. Once the broth starts to boil, cover the pot and lower the heat. Let it simmer for 40 minutes or until the green split peas are tender.

Next, add chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes. Mix well and continue to cook the ingredients for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Take about a cup of liquid from the cooking pot and add peanut butter to it. Mix well until you get a creamy sauce.

Pour it back into the pot. Add tomato sauce and kale leaves. Season it with salt and cook for five more minutes while stirring frequently.

Thank you for all your tasty recipes!
I am reading the instructions and not sure when to add the sweet potato and chopped tomatoes. Should we put in with the split pea in the beginning? Thanks!

This is very creative and amazing because never heard of such soup.
