Ingredients

  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 (400 g) cans chopped tomatoes
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 mint tea bags
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder, hot or 1 tablespoon chili powder, mild
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cups finely chopped spinach
  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 6 medium pita bread, toasted

Method

  • Combine onions, garlic and olive oil in a large stockpot and cook till onions soft.
  • Stir in tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, paprika, and let the mint tea seep in at the side. Simmer 10-12 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and peanut butter and let cook until everything is well combined like another 10 minutes (this is necessary especially if you used frozen spinach - I usually do).
  • Ladle into bowls and serve with warmed pitas.
