African Roasted Red Pepper and Peanut Soup
The aroma of freshly roasted peanuts fills the senses, followed by a bold, nutty taste. The grainy texture of the crushed peanuts complements the smooth pepper finish with its residual heat. Chef Ryan uses chile saté sauce—crushed chiles in oil—but it can be replaced by any chile sauce.
