How to Make African Style Chicken Peanut Soup With Potatoes
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 pounds of potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 large onion (chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1 jalapeño pepper (minced), and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces), 1 cup of your favorite salsa, 1 additional teaspoon of ground cumin, 4 cups of chicken broth, and 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained).
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter, season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook and stir for another 3 minutes, allowing the peanut butter to melt and the flavors to combine.
- Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped peanuts (optional).
