[Guest guest]

Here's an old favorite of mine and it's easy to make.

 

" African Lentil, Yam & Peanut Soup "

 

3 small yams, peeled and thinly sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

5 cups of veggie broth

3/4 cup lentils (I use brown ones)

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

dash of black pepper and a dash of red pepper flakes

2 Tblspn. cilantro, chopped

 

In a large pot combine yams, onion, lentils, broth, salt, pepper, cayenne

pepper, red pepper flakes and one cup of water. Bring to a boil, cover and

reduce heat and simmer for about 30 mins. Check to see if you need to add a

little water as it cooks.

With a slotted spoon remove yams, onions and some of the lentils and place in

blender or food processor and puree in batches.

Whisk the peanut butter into the remaining soup in pot until blended and pour

the pureed soup back into pot and stir to blend well. Reheat stirring and

season with additional spices to your taste. Garnish bowls of soup with

cilantro. Serves 5-6

Thank you.I'll try it at the end of this month. I can't wait to try it. I'll

do it when Brandan, my son, is at his mom's. He is so picky. We've told him

that we've become vegeterians (his dad and I) and it hasn't quite clicked yet.

It can get frustrating making two different meals, but it is worth it. I'm not

going back to meat. Some recipes, I do make and not tell him. ie Lasagna,

spaghetti, and goolash. Notice the theme. I can fool him there, just need to

think of some more stuff.
