Instructions
- Heat oil in dutch oven over med high heat. Add leeks, and saute 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, peanut butter, harissa, garlic, tumeric, and cumin. Cook 1 min stirring constantly.
- Add sweet potatoes, broth, and 1.5 cups of water and simmer over med low heat covered 20-25 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
- Blend mixture with immersion blender, adding more water if soup is too thick. Bring soup back to simmer and stir in spinach leaves and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
- Notes:
- I use a whole quart of broth (4 cups), so only add 1 cup of water. However I think adding just broth over water gives it more flavor. I tend to add more spinach, as well as not blending it. I like texture. I serve with brown rice, roasted cauliflower and browned fennel. Together its divine!
