When eating well involves: - sweet potatoes - peanuts / peanut butter - fire roasted tomatoes - garlic and jalapeño - cilantro and a generally creamy, spicy, YUMMY vibe, I am all in. You guys, this soup! Stew? It’s kind of both. It depends on how you make it and how much liquid you add, but EITHER WAY IT IS SO DARN GOOD. It literally checks all the boxes – creamy, satisfying texture; extremely awesome flavor; super nutritious; doesn’t take five and a half days to make. It doesn’t have meat, but girl, if you want meat, add meat! Not huge on kale? Swap for spinach. These are my favorite kinds of recipes – ones that just kind of let you do whatever you want to do and make it your very own. I don’t think we could have picked a better recipe to kick things off with because I fully believe this could become a January staple for you. So raise your hand if you got an Instant Pot for Christmas. Yeah? This can be made in the Instant Pot! And it can be made in its cousin, the slow cooker! [Spicy Peanut Soup in Instant Pot] AND it can also be made on the stovetop in almost the same amount of time! You just need to babysit it a little more. But hey – babysitting garlic, onion, jalapeño, sweet potatoes, and a creamy soup base as it comes together happens to be my all-time favorite kind of babysitting. You have no excuses. I am not letting you get out of making this recipe. [Spicy Peanut Soup ingredients] This soup is cozy and lovely. It’s not too spicy, although you could just omit the jalapeño altogether if you were worried about that. It has just the right balance of creaminess and kick and it reminds me of another version of a good-for-you curry. Speaking of which, this would go great over some brown rice or quinoa. Blanket, soup mug, and Netflix, coming right up.

Spicy Peanut Soup with Sweet Potato + Kale --------------------------------------------------------------- [★★★★★ 5 from 1 reviews](#respond) - Author: Lindsay - Prep Time: 15 minutes - Cook Time: 20 minutes - Total Time: 35 minutes - Yield: 5-6 (about 1 1/2 cups per serving) [Print Recipe]( [Pin Recipe]( Description Okay, YUMMMM. Spicy Peanut Soup with Sweet Potatoes + Kale! Comforting and SUPER nutritious. Naturally vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, ALL THE GOOD THINGS. --------------------------------------------------------------- Ingredients - 2 tablespoons olive oil - half an onion, diced - 1 jalapeño, minced - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed - 1 14-ounce can fire roasted tomatoes - 1 14-ounce can light coconut milk - 2 cups water - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon curry and/or turmeric - 1/2 cup chopped peanuts - 1/4 cup peanut butter - 1-2 cups kale, stems removed, chopped --------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions - Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Saute until soft and fragrant. - Add sweet potatoes. I like to brown them a little bit with the aromatics to get them nice and flavorful. - Add coconut milk, water, spices, and peanuts. Simmer until sweet potatoes are fork-tender. - Add peanut butter and kale. Simmer until everything is thick, creamy, and delicious. Top with more peanuts and a little cilantro if you’re obsessed like me. Notes Instant Pot: Cook everything except peanut butter and kale on high pressure for about 10 minutes. (Sometimes I reduce the liquid when I make it in the Instant Pot by a cup or so, and then just add more as needed when it’s all done. But that is optional – it should work fine either way.) Stir in the peanut butter and kale after cooking. Voila! Slow Cooker: Cook everything except peanut butter and kale on low for 6 hours. Stir in the peanut butter and kale. Donezo! Don’t cook the sweet potatoes too long or they’ll fall apart on ya! Just cook until they pierce easily with a fork.

I like to dip into this with some seedy crackers – you can find our product recommendations [on this post](. One last note. This recipe is inspired by an amazing West African recipe called maafe, or groundnut soup. I did what I always do [🙃] and changed/added some ingredients based on what I love and what I had on hand (kale, jalapeño, coconut milk, cilantro, etc.) making it more of a cultural mash-up. That’s why I’m not calling it a proper West African peanut soup even though those are its roots.
