Recipe: Chicken peanut soup

Sandra Amoako, Home Chef Challenge winner

Ingredients

• 4 large tablespoon scoops of peanut butter
• 6 cups of water
• 4 medium-sized tomatoes
• 1 medium peeled ginger root (2 1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide)
• 1 orange Habanero pepper
• 3 lbs of chicken drumsticks
• 2 large white onions
• 1 Maggi cube (chicken flavor)
• Salt (to taste)

Preparation

Tips

• You can use regular peanut butter or organic, unsweetened peanut butter.
• Use an actual tablespoon and not a measuring tablespoon when scooping out peanut butter.
• Add about 1/4 cup of water when blending the onions and ginger; makes it blending easier.
• Add some salt to the soup right before adding the cooked chicken and after the soup is done.
• Make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked before adding the peanut butter liquid.
• You can also crush and add one chicken Maggi cube to the soup to enhance the soup’s taste. If you feel you still need to add some salt later, then do so.
