This vegetarian version of the soup relies on the saltiness and creaminess of peanut butter -- the pantry staple and venerated American spread that is an often unsung hero in meals that don't include jelly or two slices of bread.

Presenting a new (and more acceptable) way to eat peanut butter by the spoonful.
Peanut Stew Recipe
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 serrano pepper, sliced (omit or substitute cayenne if heat-sensitive)
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and thickly julienned
- 2-3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
Roughly crush or chop the peanuts.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add crushed peanuts and season with salt and pepper.
Add the stock and the sweet potatoes and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, turn the heat down to medium and stir in the tomatoes.
Stir in peanut butter until combined. Serve garnished with remaining peanuts, slices of serrano pepper and a piece of flat bread.
