Grains of Paradise Peanut Soup

This West African soup recipe combines sweet potatoes and peanut butter with  Grains of Paradise. The flavors balance beautifully and are a wonderful showcase for this exotic spice. This mythical African spice has a mild peppery taste with floral top notes that hint at ginger and cardamom. The soup is creamy, mild and not at all heavy, making it a wonderful starter or side.
