This week with all the great ideas about jazzing up your food choices, I wanted to include the recipe I found on e tools for the Senegalese Peanut Soup. This is a keeper in my books. The soup flavors are very similar to the soup African Peanut Soup made famous at the Colophon in Fairhaven but this WW recipe is only 4 points per serving.
Here is the recipe:
6 Servings - 1 1/2 Cups per serving - 4 points
Ingredients
2 Medium Onions, coarsley chopped
1/2 lbs. Sweet Potatoes, peeled and coarsley chopped
2 Medium Carrots, coarsley chopped
2 Medium Cloves of Garlic, coarsley chopped
2 T Fresh Ginger Root - peeled and coarsley chopped
1 t Ground Clove
1/2 t Salt
1 t Cayenne Pepper
4 C Low Sodium Veggie Broth
6 T Peanut Butter (Adam's Natural Chunky)
8 - 9 C Fresh Baby Spinach
2 T Slap Yo' Mama or hot sauce (Optional)
Directions:
1. In a soup pot, saute 2 T veggie broth with onions until onions are softened. About 3 minutes.
2. Add sweet potatoes, carrots, garlic, ginger, cloves, salt and cayenne. Saute for 2 minutes.
3. Add the rest of the veggie broth, cover the pot and simmer for
25 - 30 minutes until potatoes are tender.
4. Put the stove top ingredients into a blender or vita-mix or use an immersion blender to puree.
5. Add 3 T of peanut butter to the ingredients and puree.
6. Put pureed batches back into pan and add the other 3 T of peanut butter and the spinach. Cook on low simmer and stir until spinach is wilted.
7. Add Slap Yo' Mama or hot sauce to taste.
Enjoy
