Easy & Delicious African Peanut Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium onions, very finely diced
• 2 large bell peppers, (any color) finely chopped
• 6 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes with juice
• 8 cups vegetable broth
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup uncooked rice
• 1 (18 ounce) jar creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup chopped roasted peanuts

Instructions

1. In a large stock pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic until lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
2. Stir rice into the simmering soup. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and tender.
3. Once the rice is tender, whisk in creamy peanut butter until fully incorporated. Return the soup to a gentle simmer before serving. For an extra touch, garnish with chopped roasted peanuts, if desired.
