Shopping List
- 3 boneless and skinless chicken thighs
- 5 cups salted chicken broth
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 onion, diced
- 3/4 cup roasted cashews, chopped
- 1/2 pound collard greens, chopped (about 1 bunch)
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- 1/2 cup smooth cashew butter (or peanut)
- 2 1/4 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves , minced
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Step 1: Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Trim the excess fat from the chicken thighs and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. Cut off any very thick stalks from the collard greens and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 2: Heat the olive oil to a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 4 minutes.
- Step 3: Add the chopped chicken and cook for 3 minutes. Stir the chicken several times to brown it lightly on all sides. Add the cashews, tomato paste, coriander, and cayenne. Cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently.
- Step 4: Pour in the broth, sweet potato pieces, and cinnamon stick. Bring the soup to a boil, and then turn the heat down to medium to bring the soup to a simmer. Add the chopped collard greens. Cook for 10 minutes, uncovered.
- Step 5: After 10 minutes, remove a few ladles worth of the cooking liquid and place it in a bowl. Add the cashew butter and sugar to the bowl. Stir it all together until it's pretty smooth and then pour this mixture back into the soup. Stir well to combine everything, and cook for another minute.
- Serve: That's it! Remove the cinnamon stick and then taste and adjust seasonings as desired. We love this with extra cashews sprinkled on top.
