Directions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, sweet potato, red bell pepper, celery, zucchini, jalapeno, and garlic, and cook everything together, stirring often, until the veggies have softened—this should take about 10 minutes. Next, pour in the vegetable stock and add the quinoa, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the quinoa is cooked through, around 10 to 15 minutes. Once the quinoa is tender, stir in the peanut butter and let the soup simmer for another 20 minutes or so, allowing all the flavors to meld together nicely. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Great Ways To Serve
Serve this soup hot with a side of warm, crusty bread or a simple green salad. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to add brightness. A dollop of yogurt or a squeeze of lime can also enhance the flavors.
How To Preserve This Dish
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little water if it thickens too much.
