Sopa-De-Mani-Peanut-Soup_1
Description
Sopa de Mani is a hearty, comforting soup that balances the nutty richness of roasted peanuts with the creamy texture of boiled potatoes. This dish offers a warm, savory flavor profile that is both rustic and elegant. The base of onions and stock melds perfectly with the ground peanuts or peanut butter, creating a thick, velvety consistency without the need for heavy dairy, though cream can be added for extra indulgence. It is an ideal meal for chilly evenings or as a satisfying starter for a larger feast. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, this soup highlights the natural depth of legumes and vegetables, making it a versatile choice for vegetarians and vegans alike.Ingredients

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.
