Senegalese Chicken and Peanut Soup

Recipe #109454 | 1 hour | 20 min prep | add private note

This is an award winning soup recipe. The soup should be silky and smooth but not thick; it should be spicy, but not too hot; it should have a sharpness of tomato and lemon, but not be sour; it should taste of peanuts, but not of peanut butter. It freezes beautifully. Note - I just adopted this one — it was originally posted by my friend Mean Chef — the intro is perfect and is exactly what you should be tasting in the final product!

Great soup! At first I was disappointed; I couldn't find the yellow curry paste, and because of other reviews, I didn't want to substitute the green or red paste. I added a little extra curry powder, but when I was finished, it just tasted like it was missing something. So I found a recipe for yellow curry paste, and found that it had ginger and corriander (among other things!), which I had. I added some fresh grated ginger and corriander, and some brown sugar (the peanut butter I used didn't have any, thought that might have made a difference, too) and now it ROCKS. I hope I can find curry paste, because I'm sure it will be even better!

    This is an outstanding soup. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. It is wonderfully unique and definitely hearty enough to make a meal out of it. Mean's intro description is right on — there is a peanut flavor to the soup but it doesn't dominate and the soup is a bit spicy but not overly so. Absolutely delicious. The different types of curry make for fabulous layers of flavor. I've never experienced a soup like this before and now it is my favorite.

    Served this to my sister and BIL--they were crazy for it. I didn't have & couldn't get the yellow curry paste so I substituted green curry paste plus a bit of turmeric. Used light coconut milk (canned). Otherwise, followed the recipe exactly. My sister wanted to make sure I had this recorded or knew where to find it again. Superb--not surprising it's an award-winner (wondering what award?)!
