Often got feedback that why their peanut is not soft although boiling for many times. First of all, you need to buy the correct type of peanut. There are one type which is smaller in size, is normally use for frying like those you had in your nasi lemak. Another type is slightly bigger in size, that's is for boiling soup. If you buying from those stalls at the market, you can always ask the seller which type is suitable for boiling soup or porridge.
Once you get the right type of peanut, it's better to soak them overnight in the fridge. This way is to soften it and it cooks faster with shorter cooking time.
As usual, I love adding some chicken feet into my soup for that extra collagen. You can omit if you find them too gross to your liking.
