Ready in 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 c Lowfat chicken broth

2 c Canned tomatoes chopped

1 md Sweet potato thinly sliced

1/4 ts Garlic roasted

1 ts Lowfat peanut butter smooth

2 Green onions chopped

2 c black-eyed peas Cooked

2 tb green bell pepper Chopped

2 tb Cajun seasoning to taste

1 tb Soy sauce, low sodium

1/8 ts Saffron threads to taste

1/4 ts Thyme

1/4 c Fresh Cilantro chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

4 ds Bitters to garnish

2 tb peanuts Chopped, or honey


Directions

PANTRY: If using canned black-eyes, drain and rinse well. Use recipe-ready frozen beans if you can get them, or cook your own. Put everything into a heavy soup pan in the order listed, except the salt and pepper and the garnishes. Bring just to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, mostly covered, until the potato is tender and the soup has mellowed; about 25 minutes, minimum. SERVE very hot, adding a couple of drops of bitters, along with optional nuts or seeds, at table. A feast for the eyes, make it as spicy as you like with your favorite Cajun Seasoning blend. Makes 6 cups to serve 2 main or 4 side portions. Each single cup portion, with peanuts, has 154 cals, with 13.6 CFF (or 2.7 g).

I left out the bellpepper cuz hubby doesn't like them and used regular peanut butter as I don't have low fat pb. Next time I will reduce the Cajun seasoning from 2TB to 1/2 TB. It was very spicey, which I like but it was too hot for hubby and daughter.
