Re: We're #5!
Hey Eric, Art was not kidding, that peanut soup is awesome. Here is a recipe that i had gotten a while back off the net.
( I substitute the peanut butter for crushed peanuts and chicken stock instead of the veggie stock)
* 2 Tablespoons oil
* 2 medium onions, chopped into big pieces
* 2 large green peppers, chopped into big pieces
* 4 cloves garlic, pressed
* 1 28-ounce can of whole tomatoes, cut into quarters, juice reserved
* 10 cups vegetable stock
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
* 1/2 teaspoon dried, crushed red chili peppers
* 1/2 cup raw brown rice
* 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter or crushed peanuts
*
Garnish: crushed peanuts
In a large soup pot, heat the oil, then saut? the onions, green peppers, and garlic until they begin to brown. Cut in the tomatoes and cook over medium high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, til they cook down. Pour in the remaining tomato juice and the stock. Bring to a boil, add the rice, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 45 minutes.
When ready to serve, stir in the peanut butter until it melts and the broth is smooth. Reheat to a simmer, then ladle into bowls and sprinkle with crushed peanuts.
Lessen the crushed chili peppers if you're not into very spicy.
Bon appetit
