Tomato Peanut Soup By The Canadian Living Test Kitchen

Packed with protein, peanuts give this colourful soup a velvety texture and rich, creamy taste. Roasted Vegetable Stock would be a tasty base for this and other vegetarian dishes.

Servings: 8

Ingredients:
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 each onion and stalk celery, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp (5 mL) grated gingerroot (or 1/4 tsp/1 mL ground)
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and ground coriander
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 can (28 oz/796 mL) dicedtomatoes
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
5 cups (1.25 L) vegetable stock
1/2 cup (125 mL) smooth natural peanut butter
2 cups (500 mL) chopped fresh kale or collards
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice

Preparation:

In large Dutch oven or saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, celery, garlic, ginger, salt, coriander and cayenne, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add tomatoes, sweet potatoes and stock; bring to boil. Whisk in peanut butter; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Stir in kale and lemon juice; simmer until wilted, about 3 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate, uncovered, in airtight container until cold. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.)

Oh, I've been watching for this! It does look yummy cottage, and I've got tons of kale in my freezer I need to use up.
