30 minThis soup brings the bold, nutty flavors of Nigerian cuisine to your table with just six ingredients.
Chicken broth simmers with green peppers, onions, and fiery chili peppers, then gets swirled with chunky peanut butter until it’s velvety and rich.
Each spoonful is warming, slightly spicy, and surprisingly filling.
Chef Tips
- Use chunky peanut butter for texture
- Stir the peanut butter in slowly on low heat to prevent it from seizing up
- Dried chili peppers pack more heat than fresh
- Simmer vegetables until completely tender before adding peanut butter
- Thin with extra broth if it gets too thick as it cools
Variations
- Add diced chicken or shrimp for protein
- Stir in chopped kale or spinach for greens
- Top with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro for garnish
- Serve over rice for a heartier meal
Ingredients
Directions
In 1-quart saucepan dissolve broth mix in water; add chili peppers and bring mixture to a boil.
Stir in bell pepper and onion and return to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to lowest possible temperature; add peanut butter and cook, stirring constantly, until peanut butter is melted and mixture is well blended.
Makes 2 servings.
