Ingredients
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1¼ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 green pepper, seeded and diced
3 jalapeño peppers, seeded, membranes removed and minced

How to make African peanut soup
Heat the oil in a heavy 6-quart saucepan over medium heat. Brown the chicken, then remove and set aside.
Cook the onion, carrots, and peppers for 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more.
Make a well in the center, add the curry powder and peanut butter, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add salt, pepper, tomatoes, broth, and yams; stir to combine. Return the chicken with its juices.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.
Serve with your choice of garnish: chopped tomato, cilantro, scallions, chopped CB's Barrel Roasted Peanuts, plain yogurt, or sour cream.
