African Peanut Soup

1 garlic clove
1/3 c. tomato paste
2/3 c. “Wonder Butter” (lowfat peanut butter) or regular p.b.
1/8+ tsp cayenne
4 c. veggie broth
1 sweet potato, diced
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 yellow squash, diced
1 can garbanzos (optional – I add because I like it to be hearty!)

Saute garlic in water. Add diced veggies and sautee until mostly cooked. Add tomato paste, peanut butter, and cayenne. Stir until smooth. Add broth. Cover. Simmer 30 minutes or until veggies are tenderly edible. Makes 4 cups.
