How To Make Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Soup
Step 1. Prep the Ingredients
Wash and Chop all veggies in small chunks. For garlic, you may grate or chop as you prefer it.
Step 2. Sauté the Veggies
Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic till transparent. Then add tomatoes.
Step 3. Add Sweet Potato
Once tomatoes are done, add rest veggies (sweet potato and spinach). Add a little salt here and since spinach leaves water, veggies would be easily cooked. Cover with lid and it takes around 5-6 min. If you want crunchy vegetables, saute for around 3 min.
Step 4. Add Peanut Butter
Add water and boil for one minute. Veggies would be done by now. You may add more salt, black pepper, and herbs seasoning. Add the peanut butter of your choice. For more creamy, you may add more peanut butter. Give it a boil and it should not have more water to avoid it being too runny.
Step 8. Serve it
The Sweet Potato Peanut Butter Soup is ready! Serve it hot with rice or bread of your choice!
