Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Rinse raw peanuts thoroughly, then soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure softness.

  2. 2

    Drain the soaked peanuts and add them with 5 cups of fresh water to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, occasionally skimming off foam for clarity.

    Use a blender (let cool 10–15 minutes first) to puree the peanuts and liquid in batches until silky smooth.

  5. 5

    Return the blended mixture to the pot. Stir in whole milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Simmer on low heat 10 minutes, stirring frequently for a creamy texture.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Serve warm, ensuring the soup is gently ladled to preserve its velvety consistency.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this peanut soup dessert recipe?
The core ingredient is raw peanuts, which provide the rich nutty flavor and silky texture. Whole milk adds creaminess, while sugar and vanilla enhance the natural sweetness and aroma.

Simmering on low heat and blending the peanuts fully ensure a smooth soup. Letting the mixture cool before blending avoids overcooking, and stirring during the final simmer prevents scorching at the base.
