This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also offers a creamy, flavorful, and nutritious meal that's sure to impress with its unique blend of ingredients. Here it is 👇👇👇

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional garnishes: chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, a drizzle of coconut milk

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine. Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
3. Blend the Soup: Once the sweet potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a blender, puree it in batches, and return it to the pot.
4. Add Peanut Butter and Spices: Stir in the peanut butter, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the soup is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped peanuts, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of coconut milk if desired.
