Yam and Peanut Soup

OMG........That is all.

What you need
2 large yams, peeled and cut into cubes
1 onion, diced
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 sticks of celery, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger
1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes with juice
6 cups of water
1/3 cup crunchy or smooth peanut butter
Salt, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice to taste

BOIL or roast your yams until just about tender. Meanwhile, saute your onion, carrot and celery in a large soup pot on medium heat for about 10 minutes or so. Add the ginger and garlic and saute one minute more. Add the tomatoes, water and the yams chunks and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sweet potato is tender and soft. Add salt, pepper and spices to taste.
TRANSFER to a blender and blend in batches until very smooth. You can add water if it is to thick.
STRAIN your soup through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pot to give it an amazingly smooth and velvety consistency.
ADD the peanut butter and more seasoning to taste.
GARNISH with some chopped peanuts and chopped green onion.
