    Recipe Description

    Dive into the heart of Africa with this rich and creamy West African Peanut Soup. A harmonious blend of sweet potatoes, collard greens, and crunchy peanuts enveloped in a tomato-based broth, spiced to perfection with ginger and chili. This comforting soup is not only a nutritional powerhouse, providing a good balance of protein, fiber, and vitamins but also a delightful exploration of African flavors. It’s a perfect meal for anyone looking to expand their culinary horizons with a hearty, plant-based option.

    Ingredients

    • 1 large onion, diced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
    • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
    • 4 cups vegetable broth
    • 1 cup tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
    • 1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth)
    • 4 cups collard greens or kale, stems removed and leaves chopped

    Steps:

    1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
    2. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and chili powder, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
    3. Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot, along with the vegetable broth and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil.
    4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let the sweet potatoes cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
    5. Stir in the peanut butter until the soup becomes creamy and well-combined.
    6. Add the chopped collard greens or kale, cooking for another 5-10 minutes, or until the greens are tender but still vibrant.
    7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
    8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro. Serve hot.
