Let’s change that!<\/p>\n
When I discovered that you can make a SOUP WITH PEANUT BUTTER, no one had to ask me twice to get out there and try it. It turns out, there’s a classic African-style soup with peanuts + sweet potatoes. This totally makes sense because I always put peanut butter on orange sweet potatoes (you shouldn’t be surprised about that by now). The two flavors work so well in a soup, the sweetness, the richness, the hint of tomato, the spices. It’s pretty delicious.<\/p>\n
Also! This is my first Instant Pot recipe. I’ve been terrified of the thing for years and avoided the IP Cult for as long as possible, but now, here I am… and I have to say \u2013 the Instant Pot is definitely the right way to make this soup. 10 minutes of high pressure and the potato chunks are fully cooked (compared with 60+ minutes on the stovetop). It’s like magic. Then, give it a quick whirl with an immersion blender and you’ve got an incredibly sweet, creamy, spicy, flavorful soup in <30 minutes from start to finish. \n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/instant-pot-african-peanut-soup.jpg\")

Makes: 4 servings<\/strong><\/p>\n Prep:<\/strong> Cook some grains (brown rice, quinoa, barley, etc.) according to package instructions when you’re ready to serve. Alternatively, you can just prepare it as a soup with no grain if that’s how you want to do it.<\/p>\n Turn your instant pot onto saut\u00e9e mode with a splash of water and add in the following as you chop them: diced red onion, minced garlic, fresh grated ginger, and tomato paste. Also add in the spices: smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne (more or less depending on your spicy preference). Give this a stir and let it saut\u00e9e until the onions are soft and translucent. Then, turn the Instant Pot off momentarily.<\/p>\n Chop the sweet potatoes into small chunks and add them to the instant pot along with 1\/2 cup of peanut butter and 4 cups vegetable broth. Then set your Instant Pot for 10 minutes of pressure cooking, put on the lid and quickly RUN into the other room in case it explodes… <\/p>\n After 10 minutes of pressure cooking, allow the steam to release naturally for 10 more minutes before venting the rest manually. I chose to pulse with an immersion blender in order to thicken the soup. You can either do 2-3 quick pulses to leave some chunks behind, or 5-7 pulses to make it smoother and more consistent. Once the texture is right, add in the 3-4 cups of kale \/ chard \/ spinach \/ collards and they will quickly wilt down to nothing.<\/p>\n [Also give the soup a taste and feel free to add anything you’d like. If your peanut butter was unsalted, you may add another dash, or more spices, or even another grating of fresh ginger.]<\/p>\n To serve, spoon into a bowl with equal parts rice (or other grain). Topping with crushed peanuts and green onions is optional but highly recommended. <\/p>\n If you can’t finish it all (shouldn’t be an issue), leftovers are even better! <\/p>\nIngredients:<\/h4>\n
