SPICY AFRICAN PEANUT SOUP WITH CHICKPEAS
After searching on zaar for a similar soup with no success, I found this gem on the cook's recipes website. I can't wait to make a batch for the cold autumn nights we've been having! The type of broth you use is up to you, but I'll be using veggie broth to make this soup vegetarian. You can use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture or crunchy for a bit of extra bite. Enjoy!

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, toast the quinoa in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before cooking.
- Add a tablespoon of oil to the soup pot before sautéing the vegetables to prevent them from sticking.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your soup to add flavor and nutrients. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and spinach.
- If you want a thicker soup, add an extra 1/4 cup of quinoa or use less broth.
- For a creamier soup, blend 1-2 cups of the soup with an immersion blender or in a regular blender until smooth and then stir it back into the pot.
- Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, coriander, and paprika.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley.
