Cook Time 35 minutes mins
Total Time 35 minutes mins
Servings 8 (as a side, 4 as an entree)
- 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 medium sweet potato diced
- 1 bunch hearty greens of your choice (kale or collards work well) ribs removed and chopped into 1″ strips
- 3/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- hot sauce of your choice
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped peanuts for garnish
In a medium pot, bring the broth to a boil. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, sweet potato, and salt. Cook on medium for 20 minutes.
In a medium sized, heat-resistant cooking bowl, combine the peanut butter and tomato paste. Transfer 1-2 cups of the broth to the bowl, and whisk the mixture together until it’s smooth. Pour the peanut mixture back into the pot and stir well.
Stir in the greens, and season the soup to taste with hot sauce. Simmer for about 15 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring often.
Serve over quinoa or a grain of your choice if desired, and top with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.
