Curried Peanut Soup

"I tried this recipe once at a potluck and fell in love with it. It had been made by a friend who had lived in Kenya for a couple of years. Searched for the recipe for nearly 15 years when I finally stumbled upon it on the internet."

directions

  • Saute first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan.
  • Add remaining ingredients and saute, stirring, 8-10 minutes over medium-low heat.
  • Mix the Soup Base ingredients together to make a paste.
  • Add to other ingredients.
  • Mix, cover and simmer over very low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Whisk buttermilk into hot soup before serving.
  • For Topping: Slice bananas ¼ of an inch thick and fry in butter.
  • Add remaining ingredients and fry another minute.
  • Spoon into soup bowls.
  • This is best served in very small servings as it is very rich.
  • You may get even more servings.
  • But I love having this by myself the next day, and can never make enough.

  1. This was really delicious with some cooked rice mixed with it. It gave more substance to the soup. It also helped regarding the peanuts; I'd chopped them, but apparently not small enough. It was strange to bite into them in the soup, but seemed much more normal when the rice was added to make it thicker. I liked it. ZWT7.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
