Curried Peanut Soup

---

I tried this recipe once at a potluck and fell in love with it. It had been made by a friend who had lived in kenya for a couple of years. Searched for the recipe for nearly 15 years when i finally stumbled upon it on the internet.

Steps

---

Saute first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan.

---

Add remaining ingredients and saute , stirring , 8-10 minutes over medium-low heat.

---

Mix the soup base ingredients together to make a paste.

---

Add to other ingredients.

---

Mix , cover and simmer over very low heat for 1 hour , stirring occasionally.

---

Whisk buttermilk into hot soup before serving.

---

For topping: slice bananas of an inch thick and fry in butter.

---

Add remaining ingredients and fry another minute.

---

Spoon into soup bowls.

---

This is best served in very small servings as it is very rich.

---

You may get even more servings.

---

But i love having this by myself the next day , and can never make enough.
