AFRICAN PEANUT CHICKEN SOUP - ABIGAIL'S INN
A friend shared this recipe with me nearly 20 years ago and it’s been a favorite of mine ever since. The soup is hearty, healthy, full of flavor and perfect for a chilly winter evening. It’s especially delicious when paired with a salty flatbread or fresh baguette. Enjoy!Dave Parlin, Abigail’s Inn
