Sauté onions, celery, red bell pepper, and carrots 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and continue to sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add gingeroot, cumin and cayenne pepper, and cook 1 minute longer. Add sweet potatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10-12 minutes, until potatoes are just tender. Add nutmeg. Stir in peanut butter. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Squeeze in juice of 1/2 fresh lime and stir. May ladel into bowls at this point, or purée with an emulsion blender (or good processor), before serving.
