Low Carb African Peanut Soup. I probably do not have enough soup recipes on this site but this one is a dandy. There are no hints of any sweetness in it as I have substituted daikon radish for high carby sweet potatoes but don’t kid yourself…This. Is. Good. The bottom right picture is the same bowl of soup as above only with the addition of za’atar and black seeds (no not black sesame seeds)-these are a totally different and healthy animal all together. I love, love, love the combination and they can also be seen on the Eggplant Soup as well as on the salad with Lemon Tahini Mint Salad Dressing. Once you have used them, I doubt you would ever give them up. If you are interested, you can read more here: The Blessed Seed and they are both readily available in almost any Middle-Eastern Grocery so, for a terrific taste of Africa you may want to try this low carb African Peanut Soup.

Holly mother of God, this soup is THE BOMB! Thank you, Deborah! You are making my weekend meal preps so much more enjoyable.
Mari, You are a scream and so glad you like it. Hope you were able to get zaatar and black seeds for it. For me, that’s what makes it the bomb.
