Waaaay back last year, when everyone was talking about ball kicking tournaments, I was part of a small group of dedicated bloggers who took part in the World Cup Food Challenge. This (I'm sure you remember) was a blog based challenge to cook between us, dishes from every country involved in said real-life-subbuteo competition.
In this challenge, I made a number of dishes (and some soups) from South American countries, and I fell in love with the cuisine of that continent. Fast forward to Christmas, and as I tore open my presents from under the tree, I found that Santa had brought me not one but two recipe books on South America (along with 5 more on other things. I'm so easy to buy for at Christmas - either cook books or Star Wars merchandise*)
So I thought that I would do a few South American soups on the blog. Starting with this one, from Ecuador. You could use peanut butter for this recipe instead of grinding up your own peanuts, but I think the flavour is more intense doing it this way. It's thick and creamy and satisfying and a great start to my South American soup adventure. Let's see if my prediction made last summer - that South American cuisine would be the next big thing - comes true this year. It totally should if this soup is anything to go by...
* Incidentally, I will be making at least on Star Wars inspired soup recipe in the run up to The Force Awakens being released, but that's not until December, so I have plenty of time. And yes, I am aware this exists... and I probably won't be making Bloodsoup, as I'm not a Sith Lord. Until I do get round to making my own Star Wars soup, why not try this recipe for Bantha Steak Soup that I found
Cube 1 thick bantha steak; trim fat, pat dry. Saute meat in bantha butter until brown. Core, seed, and chop 2 large ootoowergs, 3 ripe dropes, 1 small koba if available. Add vegetables to cooked meat, cook til heated through. Put all in pot of boiling water. Cover, simmer at low heat for 3 days. Add roosha to taste. Serve 1-2.Now, where can I get some ootoowergs from? I'm thinking Lidl?
And for anyone else wanting to try Star Wars soups, here is a list of some that exist in the Star Wars universe, courtesy of the ever-helpful Wookiepedia. Although sadly Gungan bouillabaisse is made *by* Gungans, not *of* them. Mmmm, Cream of Jar Jar soup...
Ingredients
200g Potatoes
150g Peanuts
2 Large Tomatoes
2 Stalks Celery
1 Onion
1 Red Chilli
Fresh Coriander
1tsp Cumin
1.2l Beef Stock
Method.
1. Heat to oven to 160ºc. Spread the peanuts out on a baking tray. Put them in the oven and roast them for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Put them in a food processor and blend into a fine powder
2. Peel and chop the onion and potato then slice the celery. Heat some oil in your soup pan and gently cook the vegetables for a few minutes until they start to soften.
3. Roughly chop the tomatoes and add them to the pan, along with the cumin, chilli and stock. Then add the peanuts, bring the soup to a simmer, cover and cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the head and allow to cool.
4. Blend the soup until smooth, adjust seasoning to taste, reheat and serve. Garnish with more crushed peanuts, fresh coriander and thinly sliced red chillies. Enjoy!
