Bowl of African Peanut Soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
  2. Stir in the diced carrots and sweet potato. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
  3. Add the ground cumin and cayenne pepper, stirring for another minute to release the spices’ aroma.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and canned tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  5. Once the vegetables are cooked, whisk in the creamy peanut butter until fully combined and the soup is smooth. If the soup is too thick, feel free to add more vegetable broth to achieve your desired consistency.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra zing!
