made quickly

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes. Dice the onion. Dice or press the garlic. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a sufficiently large pot and sauté the onion. Sauté the garlic briefly, stirring well so it doesn’t burn. Add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil and the sweet potatoes, mix everything well, and pour in a good half a liter of vegetable stock. Bring to a boil with allspice, ginger powder, chili powder, coriander, a pint of salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until softened. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, soy sauce, and the juice of half a lime, and puree. Add the vegetable stock until the desired consistency is reached. Bring back to a boil and season to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice, and more maple syrup and/or peanut butter if desired. As a starter, the soup is enough for at least 4 people; with some bread as a small meal, at least 2 people should be satisfied.
