Inspired by East Asian Peanut Sauces, this soup recipe has a lot going for it. Besides being very tasty, it’s also easy to make. No long simmer times needed. Just combine the ingredients in a bowl, stir, heat, and serve.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 CUP WATER
- 1/3 CUP MILK OF CHOICE
- 1/4 CUP PEANUT BUTTER POWDER *NO SUGAR ADDED*
- 2 TEASPOONS TAMARIND BROTH MIX
- 2 TEASPOONS SWEETENER OF CHOICE
- 1 TEASPOON FISH OR SOY SAUCE
- SALT OF CHOICE, TO TASTE
This recipe yields roughly 1 1/3 cups of liquid soup, leaving lots of room in a 4-cup bowl for additional proteins, vegetables, and noodles.
My additions are usually Konjac Noodles, as well as pre-cooked frozen proteins, like Meatballs, and frozen vegetables, like Broccoli, Okra, Carrots, and Edamame. My milk of choice is Coconut Milk, my sweetener of choice is always Xylitol and, if needed, I opt for Miso in lieu of salt.
Feel free to tweak the recipe to your tastes and enjoy whatever additions you want.
TIPS & TRICKS
This is not a thick soup, but you can add thickeners, like a flour or cornstarch slurry, or even dry instant mashed potatoes, to achieve your desired thickness.
I created this recipe to solve my soup issues. Containing anti-inflammatory foods, this single serving soup is part of my beneficial diet. Those anti-inflammatory foods being the Peanuts, ingredients in the Broth Mix, and most of my additions.
The Broth Mix and Peanut Butter Powder are also handy cooking shortcuts.
I love this soup and I hope you do too. Feel free to check out my other recipes.
Happy Cooking, Happy Living.
