West African Peanut Soup (V/VG/GF)

Stick with me, it may sound odd but it is delicious.  I had this when traveling to, of all places, Suriname, which has a large West African populations there.  And this blew my mind.  A silky gorgeous soup made sweet potatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, peanut butter, onions garlic,  collard greens and served with a side of steamed brown rice.  (8 oz of rice with the half quart, and 16 oz of rice with the full quart.) The dish is is a vegetarian dish, but I am also offering up an option with shredded chicken if you would like a little extra protein.  Serving gets a half quart of peanut soup with an 8 oz portion of steamed brown rice. Size can feed 1 healthy portion or 2 small started side portions.
