Spicy Peanut Soup
Nov. 21st, 2007 05:37 pmlittle olive oil or spray
3-4 cloves garlic
1 bunch green onions
3-4 roasted red peppers, coarsely diced
1 large can diced tomatoes, drained
4 cups chicken stock
1.5 cups PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter (You can substitute regular peanut butter, but reduce it to 1 cup)
shredded chicken
feta cheese, or some other goat cheese
crushed peanuts
hot sauce
In a large soup pot, saute the garlic and the white part of the green onions. Meanwhile, in a blender, process the diced red peppers and tomatoes until smooth. Remove the garlic and onions and process them in the blender as well. Add chicken stock to soup pot. Add almost all pepper tomato mixture to pot. Add PB2 to reserve mixture in blender and pulse until smooth. Add to soup pot. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer immediately. Add hot sauce liberally (I used Melinda's, which has a carrot base. Vinegar based sauces will have different results).
Simmer for an hour to meld flavors. Serve hot, garnished with the chicken, green onions, crushed peanuts, and feta cheese. And maybe more hot sauce.
