Peanut Butter Soup recipe For all that asked: [More:]

Ingredients:
Meat of choice
1 mid sized Onion
3 large tomatoes
1 small jar of all natural non sweetened smooth peanut butter
1 habanero (or 2, depending on your tolerance)
garlic, ginger, salt (to taste)


Steam diced meat of your choice (chicken/beef/pork) in a pan with the whole onion, whole tomatoes, habanero, garlic cloves and ginger. When veggies look soft and mushy, scoop out and blend smoothly and pour back into pot and add half the blender jar of water...leave to simmer and cook the meat.

While the soup is simmering, put peanut paste into a pan, preferably non stick. Add water (use 1.5 jars of the empty peanut butter jar) and squish and mix with fingers till you get a peanutty liquidy yucky looking mess. Add a dash of salt to this mess, and stir on the stove with a wooden sppon/spatula, careful to avoid it lumping up. Stir for about 10 mins until the oil starts to separate from the peanuts (the water will evaporate).

Take the cooked peanut mixture, add about 2 cups of water to it, stir vigorously, and dump the entire concoction into the simmering soup.
Let simmer some more for about 30 mins, until surface of the soup is lightly coated with peanut oil.

Season to taste (i tend to use maggi sauce/salt).

Voila...Ghana style peanut butter soup.

Goes well with Rice, Potatoes or any other starchy food.
Crap - forgot to [more inside]!! Mods, please hope me.

hmm. that sounds interesting. on a side note, does anyone else ever eat peanut butter rice soup, or is this something my mom made up?

A restaurant near here did peanut butter soup.
But, it was more of a sweet soup, served with caramelized bananas and toast points for dipping.

Yum! My friend's husband is Ghanaian and they invited us over for dinner a few months ago. They served some kind of peanut butter sauce/soup - similar to this - with chicken in it, and served over this gooey starchy stuff that you ate with your hands. It was yummy.

Heeeeyyyy! I make this soup too. Found it randomly in a library book and mr. gaspode glommed onto it immediately so now we have it every couple of weeks. Filling and tasty and great in winter. (We put rice in it too).
