Instructions
- 1
Soak the peanuts in a large bowl of water overnight, making sure they're fully submerged.
- 2
The next day, drain and rinse the peanuts thoroughly.
- 3
Transfer the rinsed peanuts to a pressure cooker with the 8 cups of water (adjust slightly depending on your pressure cooker).
- 4
Lock the lid and pressure cook on high heat for 15 minutes.
15:00 timer - 5
Reduce the heat to medium and continue pressure cooking for another 30-40 minutes, until the peanuts are very soft.
35:00 timer - 6
Turn off the heat and let the pressure cooker cool naturally until it's safe to remove the lid; the liquid should have reduced to about 6-7 cups and look creamy rather than watery.
- 7
Reheat the peanut soup over medium-low heat.
- 8
Stir in the rock sugar to taste and boil until it's fully dissolved and the peanuts are thoroughly soft.
- 9
If using, stir in the coconut milk and boil for 1 more minute for a creamier, richer soup.
1:00 timer - 10
Turn off the heat and serve the sweet peanut soup immediately while hot.
