I wouldn't want the veggie stock but for people who try and be veggie heads its a choice. I'm sure its not nearly as good.

Beer in any red meat stew is great!

 

or tomato base

 

this is amazingly delicious. cooks so damn long the meat just melts in your mouth. cold weather is coming. i'm gonna need to make this soon. yummy.

i even have the dark beer to do it. old leg humper!

 

Is that tomato paste or tomato juice? Also, how important is the optional splash of cognac? I don't have any and borrowing a splash of something is weird.

 

diced tomatos and the puree they come in

actual tomato soup base does exist but I've never seen it at a store

skip the cognac

 

The beer cheese soup at Redwood Lodge is fantastic

 

i've had this at the brew works. sounded nasty, tasted awesome.

Spicy West African Peanut Soup


2 cups chopped sweet onions
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 serrano chili, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger root
1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
2 cups peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
4 cups vegetable stock

2 cups canned whole peeled tomatoes or tomato juice
1 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
salt to taste
1 cup chopped scallions
chopped peanuts
hot sauce (optional)

1. Saute the onions in the oil until just translucent. Stir in the cayenne and fresh ginger. Add the carrots and saute a couple more minutes. Mix in the potatoes and stock, bring the soup to a boil, and then simmer for about 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

2. In a blender or food processor, puree the vegetables with the cooking liquid and tomatoes. Return the puree to a soup pot. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth. Taste the soup. Its sweetness will depend upon the sweetness of the carrots and sweet potatoes. If it's not there naturally, add just a little sugar to enhance the other flavors and add salt to taste.

3. Reheat the soup gently, using a heat diffuser if needed to prevent scorching. Add more water, stock, or tomato juice for a thinner soup.

4. Serve topped with plenty of chopped scallions, chopped peanuts and hot sauce to taste.
