African Nut Soup with Red Peppers

4 servings

60 minutes

African nut soup with red peppers is a delightful and rich dish that combines vibrant flavors and nutrition. The recipe originates from West African cuisine, where peanut paste is used as a base for many traditional dishes. The velvety texture of the soup, enhanced by the aroma of fried onions and garlic, harmonizes with the tangy notes of tomatoes and the spiciness of black pepper. Red bell pepper adds freshness and a hint of sweetness, while rice makes it more filling. It's an ideal choice for a warming lunch or dinner, especially in cool weather.
