While this may be unusual to Western palates, this West African soup features sweet potatoes and peanuts and is nourishing with an appealing blend of savory and sweet flavors. You will purée only some of the soup, while keeping the rest intact, which gives the broth body while still leaving the stew with a great hearty texture. Seasonings include ground coriander and cayenne pepper.

Enjoy Wisconsinites!

Note: A food processor is recommended for this recipe!
