Here’s another gem that I would like to share with you, my recipe for African Peanut Soup. While living in NYC, a healthy café I frequented served this hearty, zesty soup, and I became hooked. Since then, I have not seen it on the menu at any other restaurants I have visited. So, I decided to create my own version.
African Peanut Soup is delicious, nutritious, and has the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I love this soup because it is very flavorful and satisfying, and the only ingredients are veggies, aside from peanuts. This soup makes for a delicious lunch that you will enjoy while also getting a healthy serving of vegetables.
1 can tomatoes
2 large carrots peeled and chopped
1 sweet potato peeled and cut into chunks
1 zucchini chopped
1 red pepper cut in strips
2 onions chopped
2 cups string beans
1 cup chopped peanuts
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 limes juiced
1 tablespoon Chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt
Pepper
Sauté onion in large soup pot, followed by all other veggies. Season veggie mix with salt, pepper, minced garlic and tomato paste. Add four cups of water. Cook for ½ hour. Add lime juice, cayenne pepper and peanuts. Cook on low flame for several hours. Enjoy!
Savor on,
Marney
