The Unexpected Ingredient To Enrich And Thicken Your Homemade Soup
BY KYLE GRACE MILLS
While cornstarch or tapioca starch are common ingredients for thickening soup, if you want a bit more flavor, extra nutrients, and a thicker texture, turn to peanut butter powder.
Peanut butter powder will stir into your soup more easily than peanut butter, and it packs fewer calories without sacrificing protein.
Peanut butter powder is a great addition to African, Middle Eastern, Thai, and Indian peanut stews. It also works great when thickening lentil stew or chili.
Peanut butter powder works best with coconut milk-based recipes or spicy stews. Just remember to taste as you add in the powder to avoid overpowering the other ingredients.
