African Chicken Peanut Soup Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by á-24269

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 to 3 pounds chicken legs, thighs and/or wings
1 large yellow or white onion, sliced
3 inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced
6 to 8 garlic cloves, chopped coarsely
2 to 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 quart chicken stock
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to taste
Salt and black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large soup pot set over medium-high heat. Salt the chicken pieces well, pat them dry and brown them in the oil. Don't crowd the pot, so do this in batches. Set the chicken pieces aside as they brown. Sauté onions in the oil for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often and scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté another 1 to 2 minutes, then add the sweet potatoes and stir well to combine. Add chicken, chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, peanut butter, peanuts, coriander and cayenne and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer and taste for salt, adding more if needed. Cover the pot and simmer gently for 60 to 90 minutes, or until the chicken meat easily falls off the bone and the sweet potatoes are tender. Remove chicken pieces and set them aside in a bowl until cool enough to touch. Remove and discard the skin if you want, or chop it and put it back into the pot. Shred the meat off the bones and put the meat back in the pot. Adjust the seasonings for salt and cayenne, then add as much black pepper as you think you can stand-the stew should be peppery. Stir in the cilantro and serve with steamed rice, if desired.

I'm allergic to peanuts. Can I substitute another nut butter?

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great freezer meal. I like to make a big batch and then freeze it in individual portions.

This soup was bland and tasteless. I tried adding more spices, but it didn't help. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of peanut soup, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I was disappointed with this soup. The peanut butter flavor was too strong, and the soup was too thick. I won't be making it again.

This soup was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add a little bit of extra cayenne pepper for some heat.

This African chicken peanut soup was a hit! The flavors were rich and complex, and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it with rice, and it was a perfect meal for a cold night.
