One-Pot Peanut Soup with Chicken + Veggies

The dreamiest One-Pot Peanut Soup with Chicken + Veggies made with all gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients. This soup is such a unique and flavorful recipe filled with all wholesome and healthy ingredients.

I’d like to thank Ezra’ little brother for making this mama crave all of the savory things all the time.

I used to be about 95% sweet tooth. These days it’s more like 60% sweet 40% savory. I have been so much more into making dinner recipes for you guys and my family. Meals that you can prep earlier in the week and make for lunch or dinner. And ones that are going to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds.

Just like this new peanut soup that is filled with chicken, veggies and so many other wholesome and delicious ingredients.

This soup is so flavorful and nourishing and perfect to make during these cozy nights at home. Jord and I had this for lunch for a few days in a row. Paired with some buttered toast (ha another pregnancy fave) – it is just too damn good!

I love adding in peanuts and peanut butter into my savory recipes. It is something commonly done in African food and in East Asia too. This a twist on African peanut soup that is commonly made in West Africa. I was with some friends who wen ton their honeymoon there and they were raving about it. I can’t say I have had the classic one myself but after they were filling me in on the details, I couldn’t help but give it a whirl. And it turned out so so good!

Oh and did I mention it only takes 30 minutes to make, start to finish?
