Cover again with hot water and soak for another ten minutes until the chiles have completely rehydrated. Prepare the chiles by removing the stems and seeds, place in a blender with some of the chicken stock and blend until a smooth paste forms. In a large pot, add the garlic and roasted vegetables. Cook for 10 minutes and add the peanuts, almonds and sesame seeds. Continue to cook to toast the seeds, then add the chicken stock and chile paste.
