Spicy African Chicken Peanut Soup

Just tried this recipe yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised with the results. The taste is a mix of tomatoes, curry, and peanuts. :-) This is from the following website: http://www.truestarhealth.com/Notes/2539000.html. However, the soup looks nothing like the picture. ;-) I guess you could try to imitate the picture by blending the soup, but I'm not sure I want to blend the chicken...

Spicy African Chicken Peanut Soup

Servings: 8 (as a SIDE dish. As a main dish, it serves 4.)

Yield: 12 cups (1 Liter)

Ingredients:
1 Tbs (15mL) sesame oil (didn't have this, I substituted with olive oil)
18 oz (500g) boned and skinned chicken breast, (3 breast halves) cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) pieces
1 cup (180g) onions, chopped
1 Tbs (9g) garlic, minced
1 Tbs (6g) curry powder
1/2 tsp (3g) salt
1/2 tsp (2g) black pepper
1/2 tsp (1g) red pepper flakes (didn't have this, I substituted with paprika - less spicy also)
6 cups (1.5L) chicken broth, (canned/buillion or homemade)
1/2 cup (115g) tomato paste
2 cups (455g) stewed tomatoes, chopped (one 15-ounce can)
1/3 cup (75g) chunky peanut butter

Procedure:
In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat the oil until smoking slightly.

Add onion until slightly transparent, then add garlic, stirring until garlic becomes fragrant (a few seconds). Add chicken, sautéing over medium heat until chicken pieces turn opaque.

Add curry powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, chicken broth, tomato paste, stewed tomatoes and peanut butter.

Heat through, but don’t boil. Serve hot.
