Mark Bittmans Senegalese Peanut Soup

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Excellent soup! I think next time I'll substitute some celery root for one of the sweet potatoes. I also might puree a portion of it before adding the collard greens or kale. That would give it a little fuller body while still keeping the greens and pieces of potato. This will become a standard fall/winter soup for us.
