Peanut Butter and Greens Soup

(recipe from online, not sure where)

1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. olive oil (I use canola)
1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
6 cups vegetable broth
2 tomatoes, diced
1 bunch collard greens, cut or torn into strips or small pieces (I used kale)
1/3 tsp. cumin
dash cayenne pepper
1/3 tsp salt
1 cup peanut butter
2 Tbsp. lemon or lime juice

Sautee the onion and garlic in oil for about 3 minutes, or until onions start to turn clear and soft.  Add ginger and heat one more minute.  Add broth, tomatoes, greens, cumin, cayenne and salt and allow to cook for about 15 minutes.

Carefully add the peanut butter, and stir well to combine.  Allow to cook until the peanut butter is melted and incorporated.  Drizzle with lime juice just before serving.

(What a simple preparation, and unusual soup!  I brought this for work lunches, and it kept getting better and better each day.  Very light.  I liked to add a bit more cayenne to each serving.)
