I started with fresh spinach and used low fat buttermilk and ground cumin fresh peppers. Loved it! Great combination of flavors. I think I'd use even more peanuts or chop a few up to make it nuttier.
The flavor of the soup was excellent. I think next time I might puree all of the spinach to make it easier to eat. Also I didn't quite understand what to do with the peppers. I cut them in half as suggested. But was I supposed to scrap them into the pot and then remove them after heating the soup?
This recipe is not for everyone but I thought it was fantastic! I chopped up 3 jalapenos instead of just halving serranos because I wanted lots of spice and something to chew on besides the peanuts.
This recipe was very quick simple and satisfying! I had to substitute a few things because I didn't have everything on hand: 2tsp flour for the cornstarch cumin powder and jalapeno peppers. I imagine it would be even better with all the correct ingredients.
I made this to use up some buttermilk and I was not a fan. My mom said it's 2 stars but my husband and I give it 1.
Maybe I was less of a buttermilk fan than I thought...because I probably will not make this soup again.
This is an interesting combination of flavors. I chose it to use up some buttermilk but I don't think I'll be making it again. My husband wouldn't eat it. I added some chicken broth to mellow out the strong flavor of the buttermilk. If you don't really like the flavor of buttermilk do not make this recipe.
Didnt even eat it. Did not care for how it looked and turned out. I was hopeful this was a good way to use up buttermilk. I was wrong. No stars is not an option.
I liked it. I had 3cups of drying spinach in the frig and wanted to use it. I stuffed it into my Ninja processor with 1.5 cups of buttermilk and chopped it fine. Next in the Ninja a cup of no fat milk and three tablespoons of natural peanut butter then added it to the saucepan with the spinach buttermilk. I didn't have cumin seeds so I used powdered also I didn't have serrano peppers so substituted one teaspoon of powdered Mexican arbol peppers. I tried cooking the powdered cumin and peppers in olive oil but in hindsight would have just added them to the saucepan with one tablespoon of olive oil. I mixed the corn starch with the water then added that with the sugar to the saucepan. I stirred constantly to boiling expecting the cornstarch to make the soup somewhat thicker. It was a little hotter than my wife could stand so again in hindsight I would bump the pepper down to half a teaspoon.
