Peanut Soup with Rice and Scallions

 

Recipe By :This Can't Be TOFU! - Deborah Madison

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons roasted peanut or vegetable oil

2 large onions -- diced

2 large bell peppers, 1 red and 1 green -- diced into 1/2-inch

chunks

2 teaspoons chopped ginger

2 sweet potatoes -- peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

3 large garlic cloves -- finely chopped

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes, or

more to taste

2 cups crushed tomatoes in sauce

5 cups water or Basic Vegetable Stock

3/4 cup peanut butter

1 box or 1/2 carton tofu, preferably soft

2 cups cooked rice

1 cup sliced scallions, including the firm

greens

 

Instead of white cubes of tofu bobbing in this African-style, soup where they

look decidedly odd, I puree the the tofu with a portion of the finished soup

until everything is smooth. The tofu is there, but it doesn't intrude. And

this is a method you can use with virtually any pureed soup. If you wish, you

can puree the entire soup, or leave it textured, with bits of sweet potatoes and

peppers.

 

Warm the oil in a wide soup pot set over high heat. Add the onions, bell

peppers, ginger, and sweet potatoes, and saute, stirring frequently, until the

onions have begun to color, 8 to 10 minutes, adding the garlic after the first 5

minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt, several good twists of the pepper mill, and the

cayenne, to taste, and cook a few minutes longer.

 

Add the tomatoes and scrape the pot to lift up any brown bits from the bottom.

Add the water or stock, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer,

covered, for 25 minutes.

 

Add the peanut butter and cookk, stirring, until it has dissolvedRemove 2 cups

of the soup and puree with the tofu until perfectly smooth. Return this mixture

to the soup. (If you wish, puree the entire soup.) Taste for salt and for the

heat level, adding more cayenne if desired.

 

Serve with 1/3 cup rice mounded in each bowl and plenty of scallions scattered

over the top.

I agree, most of the recipes have not been vegan.
