VISION MISSION
This creamy, protein-rich soup is made with a simple medley of crunchy peanut butter, collard greens, and tomatoes. Hearty and healthy (but not heavy), this soup can be eaten on its own or combined with rice or quinoa for added texture and protein. As super-nutritious dark leafy greens, collards are high in vitamin A, which supports vision functioning, and vitamin K, which helps keep bones strong.
1 tablespoon extra-virgin coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 tablespoons peeled and grated ginger
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup crunchy, unsalted, dry-roasted peanut butter
½ bunch collard greens, ribs removed and leaves thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Red pepper flakes, to taste
In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in the onions, ginger, and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 3 cups water and the peanut butter and stir until thoroughly incorporated. Add the collard greens, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the collard greens are tender and the soup is thick, about 20 minutes. Taste and season again with salt, pepper, and red pepper, to taste. Serve hot. This soup can be stored in the fridge up to 2 days in an airtight container.
