WEST AFRICAN PEANUT SOUP WITH CHICKEN



West African Peanut Soup With Chicken image

This West African soup is about as different from a traditional European chicken-in-a-pot soup as you can get, flavored with ginger, garlic and chiles (sounds Chinese, yes?), and incorporating vegetables like sweet potatoes and kale. Then of course there are the peanuts. When it comes to the peanut butter, "natural" peanut butter, made from peanuts and salt and nothing else, works best. Chunky or creamy? It doesn't matter much. Finally, it's nice to time the cooking so that the sweet potatoes do not quite fall apart.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup roasted and shelled peanuts
2 tablespoons peanut or neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
1 medium red or white onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken (about 2 thighs or breasts) cut into chunks
Pinch of cayenne
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
6 cups stock or water
2 sweet potatoes or yams (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into thick slices
8 plum tomatoes, cored and halved (canned are fine; drain and reserve liquid for another use)
1/2 pound collards or kale, washed and cut into wide ribbons
1/4 to 1/2 cup peanut butter, chunky or smooth

Steps:

  • Chop peanuts, or crush them with the side of a knife, or pulse them in a food processor to chop roughly.
  • Put oil in a deep skillet or medium saucepan over medium heat; a minute later, add onion, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken and continue cooking for another 3 or 4 minutes, until just coloring. Add 1/2 cup peanuts and the cayenne and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the stock and the sweet potatoes, bring to a boil, and turn heat down to medium-low so the soup bubbles gently. Stir in tomatoes and collards, then cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter. Taste, adjust seasoning (you may want to add more peanut butter at this point) and serve, garnished with remaining peanuts.

PEANUT SOUP WITH CHICKEN

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
1 jalapeno, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1/2 medium onion, cut into chunks
Kosher salt
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
2 fresh bay leaves
4 large ripe plum tomatoes, cored and cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
1 medium onion, cut into chunks
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
1 jalapeno, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water, plus more as needed
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
Juice of 1 lime
8 cups spinach leaves, roughly torn
Fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeno or Fresno chiles and lime wedges, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Combine the tomato paste, thyme, cumin, cloves, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender. Blend to make an almost smooth paste. Add the chicken broth and blend until very smooth.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the coconut oil or ghee. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken to the pot and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion puree and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the tomatoes, garlic, onion, ginger and jalapeno. Pour in 1 cup of the stock or water. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Cover and cook until the tomatoes and onions are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the sauce to the blender (no need to wash the blender) and, being careful when blending hot ingredients, puree until smooth. Set a strainer over the chicken pot and strain the sauce right into the pot. Stir and return to a simmer just to combine the flavors, about 5 minutes.
  • Put the peanut butter and remaining 1/2 cup stock in the blender (no need to wash the blender) and blend until smooth. Whisk into the simmering soup. Simmer just to combine the flavors, 2 to 3 minutes, adding a little more chicken stock if needed. (The soup should be slightly thick, like melted ice cream.) Stir in the lime juice and season with salt, if needed.
  • To serve, mound spinach leaves in 4 shallow serving bowls. Ladle the soup over. Garnish with cilantro, jalapeno and lime wedges, if desired.

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! :-)

Tips:

  • Use unsalted peanuts: Salted peanuts can make the soup too salty, so it's best to use unsalted peanuts and add salt to taste.
  • Toast the peanuts: Toasting the peanuts before adding them to the soup will enhance their flavor and give the soup a richer taste.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The flavor of the chicken broth will greatly impact the flavor of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken can be tough and dry, so it's important to cook it just until it's cooked through.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the soup is flavorful and well-balanced.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve the peanut soup with your favorite toppings, such as chopped peanuts, croutons, or a dollop of sour cream.
