African Peanut Soup

[ksb122205]

I moved and lost the issue with the wonderful Peanut soup recipe...HELP! It must have been from around the year 2003 because I can remember first making it while in Sicily. Thanks in advance for any help in locating it!

Would that be:

"Savory Summer Soups

Cuisine at home No. 39 (June 2003), pages 16-17

Even though it's warmer outside, Peanut Soup and Shrimp Gumbo are viable dinner options. And very good choices, indeed."

If so, I'll type it in for you....my keyboard seems to be cooperating better today. Unfortunately, C@H has taken our Members Plus search away, so unless someone else already has it saved, this is the only way.

Just in case this IS it:

Peanut Soup with Mustard Greens

1 cup yellow onions, diced

Add:
1/2 cup carrot, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 T garlic, minced
1 T chili powder
1 t kosher salt
1/2 t cayenne

Add and Simmer:
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup dry instant couscous

Sauté in 2 T. Olive Oil:
4 cups mustard greens, stemmed, chopped
Salt to taste

Garnish with:
Chopped dry roasted peanuts and chopped scallions (green parts only)

Sauté onion in oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat until softened, about 4 minutes.

Add carrot, celery, red bell pepper, and seasonings. Cook about 4 minutes, stirring often.

Add broth, chicken, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes.

Oh, Pooh! I totally forgot to welcome ksb...LOL! WELCOME!

No, I've never made it...had the time, so I typed it up. The keyboard is still a little hit and miss but better than it HAS been in the past couple of days.
