Description
Sopa de Mani is a hearty, comforting soup that balances the nutty richness of roasted peanuts with the creamy texture of boiled potatoes.

Note
Peanuts are technically legumes, not nuts, making this soup suitable for those with tree nut allergies (check for peanut allergies).
For a vegan version, omit the cream or substitute with coconut milk or cashew cream.
If using peanut butter instead of ground peanuts, ensure it is unsweetened and unsalted for best results.
The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding a splash of stock if it has thickened too much.
