Notes
- Storage Info:
- Store African Peanut Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. To freeze, pour into freezer-safe containers, leaving some space for expansion, and it'll stay good for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator if frozen, then warm on the stove over medium heat until heated through. Stir occasionally to ensure even warming. Microwaving is also an option: place in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and heat in short intervals, stirring in between.
