Why I Love This Recipe

This is a very odd and different soup


Ingredients You'll Need

Olive oil
Fresh garlic and ginger
Jalapeno diced, seeds and ribs removed
Cumin
Tomato paste
Canned crushed tomatoes
Stock—we use regular, not low-sodium.
Sweet potatoes
Chickpeas
Creamy natural peanut butter.
Chicken, poached and shredded (or pulled from a store-bought rotisserie chicken)
Kale


Directions

In a large pot heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.


Add in ginger, jalapeno and garlic and stir until fragrant about 1 min. Add the pepper, cumin and tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring, until paste darkens.


Add the crushed tomatoes, stock, sweet potatoes, chickpeas and peanut butter. Bring to a boil and stir until fully combined. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender.


Add in kale and shredded chicken and cook for another 5 minutes. Taste the soup before adding salt. Depending on how salty your stock and/or peanut butter was, it may not need anymore salt. If you use low sodium stock and salt-free peanut butter, it will need a full teaspoon salt, maybe more. Adjust to your own liking.


Serve warm topped with cilantro and crushed peanuts. Enjoy!
