Spicy Groundnut Soup
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp pure groundnut paste or peanut butter
- 2 1/2 pints stock or water
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 slices fresh root ginger
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and chilli powder
- 8 oz white yam diced
- 10 small okras trimmed (optional)
Instructions
- Place the groundnut paste or peanut butter in a bowl, add 300 ml (1/2 pint) 1 1/4 cups of the stock or water and the tomato puree and blend together to make a smooth paste.
- Spoon the nut mixture into a saucepan and add the onion, ginger, thyme, bay leaf, salt, chilli and the remaining stock.
- Heat gently until simmering, then cook for 1 hour, stirring from time to time to prevent the nut mixture sticking.
