We made African Peanut Soup with Meredith's regular recipe[@rev]. The recipe is originally from 2013-11-09[@rev] except that we forgot all of the seasonings and skipped the peppers (hence why in the main thing, I said they were optional). However, despite forgetting these things, the soup was incredible! This is only my second time having it and I do not recall the last time exactly, this one was amazing!
We used a mixture of Better Than Bouillon and Osem. Also, it was a bit salty so we added another cup of water. We went heavy on the ginger and the peanut butter (hence those notes too). I also think that doing it in the cast-iron dutch oven and a really long simmer helped!
We also had a dozen oysters on the half shell. I am not totally sure what variety they were but e bought them at Fresh Market. They were not as good as ones we have had from Whole Foods. When I shucked them, they didn't seem to have much liquid ("liquor") though they seemed to be better later (how? I don't know...). Meredith and I each got a funky ones but the rest were...okay. Our stomachs still feel fine so I guess that says something.
