5:30 CHALLENGE: 5 INGREDIENTS, 30 MINUTES OR LESS
This combination is based on a traditional West African soup that eventually made its way to Virginia and other parts of the South. Not only is it tasty but it's warming and filling on a chilly evening.

Hands on time: Total time: 30 minutes Serves: 3-4
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (14.5-ounce) can chicken broth
1 (15.5-ounce) can unsweetened, unsalted mashed yams
1/2 cup smooth or crunchy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
Instructions:
In a medium, lightly oiled saucepan over medium-low heat, saute the onion for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Add broth, yams and peanut butter. Cook until thoroughly blended and heated through, stirring frequently. Reduce heat; thin with 1/4- 1/2 cup water to desired consistency. Add hot sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
Notes:
If you can't find canned mashed unsweetened yams, microwave one large yam or a couple of medium yams or sweet potatoes until fluffy and increase the water to about 1 cup.
