Ingredients

• ½ cup peanut butter
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 5 cups water, divided
• 1 large onion, cut into thirds
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root
• ½ teaspoon chopped jalapeno pepper
• 2 pounds goat meat (chevon)
• 1 cube shrimp bouillon (such as Maggi®) (Optional)
• 2 leaves fresh basil (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine 1/2 cup water, 1/3 of the onion, ginger, and jalapeno in a blender; puree until smooth.

Step 2

Place goat meat in a large pot. Pour onion puree on top. Stir in 1 cup water, shrimp cube, and salt. Cover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat and add remaining 2/3 of the onion; cook, covered, until softened, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer 2/3 of the onion to the blender. Add 1 cup water; puree until smooth. Pour back into the pot.

Step 4

Mix 1 cup water, peanut butter, and tomato paste in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often to prevent scorching, until oil separates, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cup water with a fork. Pour into the pot.

Step 5

Stir basil leaves into the pot. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until peanut oil rises to the surface, 20 to 25 minutes.
