Servings: persons

1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
1-1/2 teaspoon Powdered Ginger
2-1/4 teaspoons Ground Cumin
2-1/4 teaspoons Ground Coriander
3/4 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
2 pinches Cloves
2 cans (15 Oz. Size) Roasted Diced Tomatoes
3 Large Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Chopped Into Small Pieces
2 Medium Carrots, Grated
7 cups Water
Salt
1/4 cups Roasted, Unsalted Peanuts
3 Tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
1 bunch Cilantro, Chopped

1
Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion powder, ginger, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cloves. Stir and cook for a minute, until spices are fragrant.
2
Add tomatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and water. Add salt to taste (I used about a teaspoon, but you may need more or less depending on your taste). Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until sweet potato pieces are tender. Add peanuts and cook for 3 or 4 minutes more.
3
Turn off heat and, using an immersion blender or blending in batches in a food processor, blend soup until smooth but slightly chunky-the peanuts won't be completely smooth. Return to pot, add peanut butter and cilantro, and heat thoroughly, until peanut butter has been thoroughly mixed in.
