Enjoying food as I do, I haven't found many WeightWatchers recipes that I am actually excited about. If you have any, please do send them my way. This recipe, however, is interesting enough for foodies and also low in points.* Peanuts are very high in calories and fat, but in this recipe chickpeas stand in for some of the peanuts without sacrificing texture or taste.
Senegalese Peanut Soup
15oz tin chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 c chicken stock
3 tbsp all natural creamy peanut butter
1 tsp oil
2 onions, chopped
1" piece gingerroot, peeled and minced
1 1/2 tsps curry powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
14 1/2 oz tin diced tomatoes
1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
chopped cilantro
Combine chickpeas, 1/2 c chicken stock and peanut butter in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
Heat oil in a large nonstick pan or dutch oven. Saute onions and gingerroot until soft, about 7-8 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cumin; saute 1 minute longer. Add remaining stock, tomatoes and chickpea mixture, and simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavours.
Season with cayenne and garnish with cilantro.
