Low Gl Peanut Chicken Soup Recipes

PEANUT SOUP WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the tomato paste, thyme, cumin, cloves, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender. Blend to make an almost smooth paste. Add the chicken broth and blend until very smooth.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the coconut oil or ghee. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken to the pot and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion puree and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the tomatoes, garlic, onion, ginger and jalapeno. Pour in 1 cup of the stock or water. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Cover and cook until the tomatoes and onions are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer the sauce to the blender (no need to wash the blender) and, being careful when blending hot ingredients, puree until smooth. Set a strainer over the chicken pot and strain the sauce right into the pot. Stir and return to a simmer just to combine the flavors, about 5 minutes.
• Put the peanut butter and remaining 1/2 cup stock in the blender (no need to wash the blender) and blend until smooth. Whisk into the simmering soup. Simmer just to combine the flavors, 2 to 3 minutes, adding a little more chicken stock if needed. (The soup should be slightly thick, like melted ice cream.) Stir in the lime juice and season with salt, if needed.
• To serve, mound spinach leaves in 4 shallow serving bowls. Ladle the soup over. Garnish with cilantro, jalapeno and lime wedges, if desired.

Steps:

• Chop peanuts, or crush them with the side of a knife, or pulse them in a food processor to chop roughly.

Add chicken and continue cooking for another 3 or 4 minutes, until just coloring. Add 1/2 cup peanuts and the cayenne and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the stock and the sweet potatoes, bring to a boil, and turn heat down to medium-low so the soup bubbles gently. Stir in tomatoes and collards, then cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
