The temperature is cooling down in Chicago, and we were craving some soup to keep warm! This spicy peanut soup with sweet potato kale was nothing short of delicious and easy to make! A fool proof recipe that anyone can make.

All you need is…

• 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

1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Saute until soft and fragrant.

2. Add sweet potatoes. I like to brown them a little bit with the aromatics to get them nice and flavorful.

3. Add tomatoes, coconut milk, water, spices, and peanuts. Simmer until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

4. Add peanut butter and kale. Simmer until everything is thick, creamy, and delicious. Top with more peanuts and/or cilantro (if you don’t have THE GENE!)
