African Peanut Soup With Chicken And Potatoe

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 5
• 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
• 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
• 1 onion, chopped
• minced garlic
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 4 medium cubed potatoes
• 3 cups peanut butter
• paprika
• ground mustard
• red pepper flakes
• ground red pepper

Recipe

• 1 chop the chicken and onion and saute in a large sauce pan with the butter and garlic.
• 2 once chicken is not longer pink add the chicken broth. i usually use water and boullion cubes, but either will work fine.
• 3 add the chopped potato. i chop the potato very small to release the startch from the potatoes to make the soup thicker.
• 4 bring to a boil and turn down to simmer about 20 min or until potatoes are tender.
• 5 add the peanut butter (i like chunky so there are some nuts in the soup) 1 cup at a time. the 3 cups is an estimate. i usually take a large spoon and spoon the pb in, let it melt and keep adding spoonfulls until i get the soup the thickness i like.
• 6 add paprika, ground mustard, red pepper flakes, and ground red pepper to your own personal taste. i use a lot of the paprika and ground mustard and just a tad of the red pepper since i have little toddlers that don't like spicey food. you can also add cumin and/or ginger if you like those flavors. they work great in this soup.
• 7 serve! it's so great, give it a try!
