It's hard to find a simpler soup than this one, and my kids and their friends all wanted second and third helpings! It's from an authentic, home-style Chinese cookbook. My only change was to puree the finished soup.
Ingredients:
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons peanuts (the recipe said 'one handful', 2 t natural peanut butter would also work)
2 -3 slices ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
water, to cover
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil and simmer until peanuts and sweet potato are tender.
3. Discard ginger slices, whirl soup in blender, and serve. Cilantro garnish would be pretty.
