Senegalese Chicken and Peanut Soup

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!

- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup curry powder

- 3/4 teaspoon sambal oelek chili paste (red chile paste)
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- lemon juice, to taste (I used the juice of 1 small lemon)

This soup is sooooo good. The first time I made it I had 2 big bowls! I like to throw in a couple handfuls of peanuts. It is also good over rice.

We had this for dinner yesterday. It is pretty easy and has great flavor. I did poach two chicken breasts earlier in the day then proceeded with the recipe. I was a little nervous as DH doesn't like peanut butter. He loved the soup. I made half a recipe and have a little leftover for lunch today. This was not hot in flavor so may add more chili paste next time. I served it with poppodums and they were great.

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?)!
