Ingredients
- 3/4 cup roasted and shelled peanuts
- 2 tablespoons peanut or neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
- 1 medium red or white onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
- 1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken (about 2 thighs or breasts) cut into chunks
- Pinch of cayenne
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 cups stock or water
- 2 sweet potatoes or yams (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into thick slices
- 8 plum tomatoes, cored and halved (canned are fine; drain and reserve liquid for another use)
- 1/2 pound collards or kale, washed and cut into wide ribbons
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup peanut butter, chunky or smooth
Instructions
- Chop peanuts, or crush them with the side of a knife, or pulse them in a food processor to chop roughly.
- Put oil in a deep skillet or medium saucepan over medium heat; a minute later, add onion, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken and continue cooking for another 3 or 4 minutes, until just coloring. Add 1/2 cup peanuts and the cayenne and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the stock and the sweet potatoes, bring to a boil, and turn heat down to medium-low so the soup bubbles gently. Stir in tomatoes and collards, then cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter. Taste, adjust seasoning (you may want to add more peanut butter at this point) and serve, garnished with remaining peanuts.

Reviews
Very good once I added a bunch more peanut butter. If it is all adults eating this, I would add more cayenne or some red pepper flakes.
Made it tonight with amped up garlic and ginger, used Kale, fantastic meal in a bowl
