This is based on a recipe published by the Colophon Cafe in Bellingham, WA. I loved this soup when I was in college and have used their soup cookbook to recreate it for years. This vegetarian soup is spicy and filling but you could use chicken broth and add ground or chopped turkey to make it even heartier.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 14.5 oz. cans crushed tomatoes*
  • 2 cups dry roasted peanuts, unsalted (plus more for garnish
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 1 oz fresh ginger (about the size of a thumb)
  • 1 tsp crushed red or chili peppers
  • 1 14.5 oz. cans diced tomatoes*
  • cilantro or Italian parsley for garnish
  • 2 cups vegetable broth

* Fresh tomatoes would be great if they are in season. I used a large Costco can of crushed tomatoes and measured out about 4 cups for the two cans of crushed tomatoes.

After making this, I'm thinking of ways to reduce the amount of peanuts (expensive and high calorie) by adding in some garbanzo beans. It seems like the texture would be unnoticeable and it would make it a more nutritionally rounded soup. I'll report back if I have any success with this variation.

This simple chicken stew is given a unique flavor from the addition of peanut butter. With a few simple ingredients and your own blend of seasonings, you can customize this to your liking.
