MAKES 10 SERVINGS

2 tablespoons peanut oil

1 medium large yellow onion, finely diced

2 to 4 large garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

3 stalks celery, finely diced (about 2 cups)

2 carrots, finely diced (about 1½ cup)

1 red bell pepper, finely diced ( about 1 cup)

1 (28-ounce) can diced
tomatoes with juice

8 cups vegetable broth

½ cup uncooked white rice

1 cup creamy peanut butter

Salt to taste

Chopped roasted peanuts and chopped cilantro for garnish

Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium–high heat. Cook onion, garlic and pepper flakes for 5 minutes. Add celery, carrots and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with their juice and the broth. Bring to a low simmer and cook 10 minutes.

Add rice to soup and stir. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes, until rice is tender. Stir in peanut butter and return to a simmer, stirring until peanut butter is completely blended in. Taste and add salt if necessary.
