Senegalese Peanut Soup

I thought this was tasty and it relies on things that I pretty much always have in the pantry, a plus. I changed the recipe around a bit. I started with step 2. I added the chickpeas and the peanut butter in at step 4, and simmered everything for probably 10 or 12 minutes to make sure the chickpeas heated through. I then took the stick blender to it. I used 1 tbl of curry powder and some red pepper flakes instead of the cayenne. I might use less broth or add a potato to this, it was just a bit thin for me. Might add just a bit more peanut butter. This is a very good soup for very little effort.

This was an excellent and easy soup. The fresh ginger and the peanut flavor was a delicious combination and you could certainly add more ginger if you were a fan (which I am) The only addition I made was a tsp of sambal oeleck for a bit of heat.

At first taste I was disappointed as I was wanting more peanut butter flavor. As I ate though I was delighted by the other flavors and ended up very happy I had selected to make this recipe. I loved the creaminess and balance of spices. I opted to puree half of the tomatoes and did top the soup with cilantro and cayenne. I do agree that other veggies could mesh well. Thank you for sharing the recipe! =)

This is a great recipe. I was more generous with the peanut butter and the curry powder because I like it spicy. You can also vary the amount of chicken broth depending upon how thick or thin you like it. Very fast and easy.

This was great, and got a rave review from the husband as well. As others have said, more veggies could be added if you want.
