A spicy-sweet contrast make this soup a special treat.
"This a tasty, quite sweet thick soup. Definitely up for re-runs!
I wouldn't say it serves 8, especially as a main. Our household of three men devoured the entire lot in a go, with a side of spinach and cheese pastries. That made it a good size meal. Personally I would put slightly more chilli into the mix next time.
Great recipe, thankyou."

Notes Ingredients
African Peanut Soup Preparation
In a medium sauce pan, heat peanut oil over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic and mushrooms and saute slowly until vegetables are soft and golden colored. Add red pepper flakes, paprika and ginger and saute for another minute. Add broth and tomatoes. Simmer for 15 minutes.Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Puree vegetables and broth in a blender. Add pumpkin and peanut butter. Blend until smooth.
Reheat carefully over low heat, adding more broth or water as needed.
Garnish each serving with sliced scallions (green onions). You may also pour a tablespoon of buttermilk or half-and-half (in a swirl) into the bowl for a nice visual contrast.
(Notes: A good use for leftover pumpkin. Canned puree of sweet potato or yams can be substituted. Increase the heat by adding more red pepper or red pepper sauce.)

By far the best soup I've had/made in months. This recipe is a keeper.

This reminds me of Thai peanut sauce. By thickening it a little it makes a great sauce for chicken, rice, pasta and more!

|
This will make a great base for a meat and rice dish!

For me, this turned out more to be more of a veggie-puree soup than a spicy peanut soup, but it is still really good!

|
I didn't blend the veggies and it turned out great.
