Embark on a culinary adventure with this vibrant soup! A surprising yet delightful fusion of sweet pineapple, savory peanut butter, and warm spices, creating a uniquely satisfying West African-inspired experience.
Soak dried pineapple in a bowl of water until softened, at least 30 minutes; drain. (30 minutes)
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir sweet onion, celery, and leek in hot oil until tender, about 4 minutes. (4 minutes)
