Recipe in Progress: Peanut Soup, Senegalese Style

We got this recipe out of Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian cookbook. It was decent! There is another peanut-y stew with greens that I love from The Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home cookbook, so I think I was secretly hoping this soup would be a lot like that one, but even better. My expectations may have been a little unfair. I would have liked this soup to be a little richer and more peanut-y, like that one is. So next time, I think I will add more peanut butter and also some coconut milk. I like the addition of tomatoes and yams in this recipe though! All in all, it was quite good. The soup ended up both tasty and hearty, nice for a Fall night.

I garnished with a scoop of rice, crushed peanuts, and lime wedges. Yum.

This was supposed to be my recipe, but I fled town and Kristin had to make it. There is still some in the fridge so I'm going to have to give it a try!
