SENEGALESE CHICKEN AND PEANUT SOUP



Senegalese Chicken and Peanut Soup image

This is an award winning soup recipe. The soup should be silky and smooth but not thick; it should be spicy, but not too hot; it should have a sharpness of tomato and lemon, but not be sour; it should taste of peanuts, but not of peanut butter. It freezes beautifully. Note - I just adopted this one -- it was originally posted by my friend Mean Chef -- the intro is perfect and is exactly what you should be tasting in the final product! :-)

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
ground black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, depending on your preference)
1 cup hot water
1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
2 teaspoons dried cilantro

Steps:

  • Cook the onion and black pepper over medium heat in the vegetable oil in a 3-quart pot until the onion is a little yellow, then add the garlic, stirring frequently, until both are golden and softened (total of about five minutes or so).
  • Add curry powder and cook for another two minutes, stirring frequently (very important, as the curry powder will clump up and burn if you don't).
  • Add the can of petite diced tomatoes (no draining!), as well as the broth, and simmer uncovered for about five minutes.
  • Mix the hot water and peanut butter together until smooth, then add to the pot. Toss the shredded chicken and cilantro in, too.
