Peanut Soup with Cabbage and Chicken

I purchased a vegetable box from a local farmer who is offering produce year round-no small feat in Michigan! I decided this soup would be perfect for using the cabbage that came with it.

3 Tbsp olive oil
8 ounces chicken thighs (cut into chunks)
1 Tbsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste
1 large onion (chopped; from the veg box)
2 carrots (chopped; from the veg box)
2 celery stalks (chopped; Michigan sourced)
1 Tbsp garlic (minced)
1 Tbsp ginger (minced)
1/2 cup peanut butter (Michigan sourced)
4 cups chicken broth or water
2 cups tomatoes (if canned, include the juice)
1 head cabbage (shredded; from the veg box)

1. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven; toss chicken with spices and brown well. Remove from pan and set aside.

2. Add onion through ginger and cook until softened. Add remaining ingredients (except cabbage) and chicken, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30-45 minutes.

3. Add cabbage and let simmer until softened, about 15 more minutes.

Servings: 4

The Verdict: I love peanut butter in soup along with Indian spices, so I LOVED this soup! So tasty and quick to throw together on a weeknight.
