How to Make Spicy Peanut Soup

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.
  2. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 cup of long-grain rice.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the sweet potato is tender.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite salsa, 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (drained and rinsed), and 1 medium zucchini, diced.
  5. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!
