Black eye peas and peanuts soup

I have been eating too much rich food the past few days and just want something plain and simple for a change. I put a cup of cooked rice into this soup and I have a healthy meal. This is it!



Ingredient:

(A)
50 gm black eye pea, soaked overnight
50 gm peanuts, soaked for 3 hours
600 ml water
1 cube bullion chicken stock

(B)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground white pepper

Method:
Add (A) in a soup pot and bring to boil.  Lower heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour. Add B and serve hot.

  10. We westerners are not used to seeing peanuts cooked in soup but I must mention that this soup gets a big flavor boost from the peanuts. We have another favorite dish here, stewed pork with peanuts,that is as comforting as food gets.

  14. Sometimes our body just needs plain and simple after a couple meals of being spoiled. I love black eyed peas in Chinese desserts. I remember how wonderful peanut soup used to taste before my allergies.
