African peanut soup

Ingredients needed:

• 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon peanut oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 2 medium onions, sliced (about 4 cups)
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and quartered
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1/2 cup coconut milk

Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add curry powder and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in sweet potatoes, chicken broth and tomatoes, and bring soup to a boil. Simmer, covered, 20 to 30 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of peanut oil. Add the turkey and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up any clumps until cooked through. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Drain on paper towels.

Add cooked ground turkey, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne, peanut butter, and coconut milk to the soup, stirring to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.

Yield: about 2 1/2 quarts
