How to Make African Peanut Soup With Mustard Greens

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat.
2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
3. Add 1 medium carrot, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste); and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well.
4. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are slightly softened.
5. Add 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth, 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (or 1.5 cups chickpeas for vegetarian option); 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained; and 5 ounces mustard greens, roughly chopped.
6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until greens are tender.
7. Stir in 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter and 1/2 cup couscous. Stir until peanut butter is fully incorporated and couscous is cooked through (about 2-3 minutes).

9. Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts and 1 tablespoon chopped scallions before serving.
