You know how you've been trying to find the perfect
peanut soup recipe?
I have discovered the secret to achieving perfect
peanut soup. I'm amazed this even happened at all; it
was a total whim, spawned by desperation and the fact
that we've been making a lot of hummus lately.
You make a decent, minimalist peanut soup from a
recipe like this one:

And then you add about a quarter cup of tahini paste.
For some reason you won't taste the tahini at all, but
it will make the peanut element taste much peanuttier
without tasting like peanut butter.
I was really amazed. Also, if you're making that soup
you should probably puree it, return it to the pot,
bring it to a simmer and then add about a cup each of
cubed sweet potatoes, cleaned okra slices and cooked
chickpeas. Simmer till veg are done, natch.
It will be incredibly delicious.
Anyway, I always feel compelled to share scientific
breakthroughs.
