Soup : Peanuts

The peanut soup is another favorite of Qi and me and I try to make this delicious and nutritious soup at least once a week.

The basic ingredients are of course, the peanut and some meat.

Then you can add variety and taste by including dates, dried scallop and carrots (which is the common addition for most of my soups because of the sweetness that carrots impart).

My mother in law usually cooks this soup with chicken feet but since I am not fond of chicken feet - despite my father’s long-held belief that it will make you travel - I usually cook my soup with either chicken thigh or pork ribs.

One tip that mother in law told me was that salt should not be added until the soup is nearly done. Otherwise the peanuts will never soften.

But I guess if you’re using a slow cooker, after 2 hours, anything is bound to be softer and like me, Qi loves to munch on the soft peanuts.
