Tomatoes and peanut butter? YES! The first time I tried this at a health food restaurant, I was hooked. About 5 years of tweaking the recipe to my personal taste has created a spicy, sweet favorite amongst my friends and family. Luckily there is always enough for everyone!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions , very finely diced
2 large bell peppers , any color
6 large cloves garlic , minced
1 can chopped tomatoes with juice , 28 ounce
8 cups vegetable broth
0.25 teaspoons pepper
0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
0.5 cups uncooked rice
1 jar creamy peanut butter , 18 ounce
0.5 cups chopped roasted peanuts

Instructions

1

Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Cook onion, bell pepper, and garlic until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with their juice, vegetable broth, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
2

Add rice to soup and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 25 minutes, or until rice is tender.
3

When rice is cooked, whisk in peanut butter and return to a simmer, and serve. Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts, if desired.
