Ingredients:  

2 tbsp Olive oil
1 Medium onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 tbsp Ginger, minced
1 Jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, diced
4 Garlic cloves, minced (1 tbsp)
1/2 tsp Pepper
2 tsp Cumin
2 tbsp Tomato paste
1 (14oz) can Crushed tomatoes
4 cups Chicken stock
1 Sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 (14 oz) can Chickpeas, drained

4 cups Kale, roughly chopped
1.5 lbs Chicken, poached shredded
1 tsp Salt (to taste)

Directions:
Directions:

1. In a large pot heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until
softened, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add in ginger, jalapeno and garlic and stir until fragrant about 1 min. Add the
pepper, cumin and tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring, until
paste darkens.
3. Add the crushed tomatoes, stock, sweet potatoes, chickpeas and peanut butter.
Bring to a boil and stir until fully combined. Turn the heat down to low and simmer
for 15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender.
4. Add in kale and shredded chicken and cook for another 5 minutes. Taste the soup
before adding salt. Depending on how salty your stock and/or peanut butter was, it
may not need anymore salt. If you use low sodium stock and salt-free peanut
butter, it will need a full teaspoon salt, maybe more. Adjust to your own liking.
5. Serve warm topped with cilantro and crushed peanuts. Enjoy!
