AFRICAN BEAN SOUP
AFRICAN-SOUP - A Lenten soup with beans and peanuts
This is a soup that we eat during Lent. It came from a
Catholic leaflet that unfortunately I no longer have.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 8)
3 Tbsp margarine
2 cups carrots thinly sliced
12 cups boiling water
1 cup black eye peas dry
1 cup navy beans dry
1 cup green pepper diced
3 1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
1 cup salted peanuts chopped
2 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp basil leaves crushed
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
PROCEDURE
(1) Melt margarine in large stock pot. Add carrots.
Cook for 5 minutes.
(2) Add water, black eyed peas, navy beans, green
pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper (add more
water, if necessary, to cover).
(3) Cook, covered, until ingredients are tender, 1
1/2-2 hours.
(4) Add peanuts, onion powder, basil, and coriander
during last 10-15 minutes of cooking.
(5) Taste to correct seasonings. Soup should be
thick.
NOTES
If you want more of a peanut flavor, add peanut butter (any
kind) to taste during step 4. I use about 1/2 of a cup.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 15 minutes preparation, 2 hours
cooking. Precision: no need to measure.
