Enlightened Quick-Fix Sweet Potato, Spinach Fire-Roasted Tomatoes, and a Bit of Peanut Butter Soup
- 1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 T. fresh grated ginger
- 2 t. ground coriander
- 1/4 t. cayenne
- 1 14.5 oz. can of Muir Glen Fire-Roasted Crushed Tomatoes
- 2 T. low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 c. creamy peanut butter
- 4 c. of low-sodium veggie broth + 1/4 c. to help saute the vegetables, if necessary (mine was homemade)
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 c. unsweetened non-dairy milk (this time I used soy, but I often use almond)
- 4 c. of fresh baby spinahc
- 2 T. chopped peanuts (opt.)
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sweet potato. Cover and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Check halfway through to stir, and add a little big of broth if the vegetables are sticking.
Stir in ginger, coriander and cayenne. Add tomatoes and soy sauce.
In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter with 1 c. of the broth, stirring until smooth. Smooth the peanut mixture into the soup, then add the remaining broth and season to taste with the pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 10-15 minutes.
Stir in the nondairy milk and spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
Serve hot, sprinkled with some chopped peanuts.
Serves 6, which means that we've had lots of yummy leftovers!
