1

Boil sweet peppers, eggplants, a wedge of onion, chili, and ginger until tender enough to blend smoothly.

2

Prepare a marinade for the chicken with onion, garlic, ginger, rosemary, salt, white pepper, and homemade chicken bouillon cube, then blend until smooth.

3

Marinate the chicken with the blended mixture and steam it on medium heat until the marinade penetrates the meat.

4

Blend the boiled vegetables with peanut butter until smooth.

5

Pour the peanut butter and vegetable blend into the pot with the marinated chicken and stir to combine.

6

Cook on low medium heat for approximately 30 minutes, partially covering the pot to prevent boiling over and to reduce.

7

Check for oil from the peanut butter settling on top to indicate the soup is done cooking.

8

Optionally, cook additional chunks of eggplants and chilies until tender before serving.
