Peanut (Groundnut) Soup

Directions

1. 1
   Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, peel off the skin and blend the flesh to a smooth juice. If using canned tomatoes, blend.
2. 2
   Put the peanut butter into a big bowl, add 3/4 pt. of the boiling water and use a wooden spoon or a blender to blend the peanut butter and water carefully together to form a creamy, smooth sauce.
3. 3
   Mix together the tomatoes, peanut butter mixture, red chilies and mushrooms.
4. 4
   Continue to simmer, stirring only occasionally to prevent the food sticking to the bottom of the pan. This is now the basic soup.
5. 5
   Pour the rest of the boiling water into the soup and simmer slowly on medium heat for 20 mins or so.
