• 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes (canned)
• 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter (creamy)
• 1 cup Coconut milk

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the crockpot.

Step 2

Add the diced carrots, celery, potatoes, red bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, ensuring all ingredients are covered in liquid.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the peanut butter mixture into the crockpot and gently stir to combine without disturbing the layering too much.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is tender and vegetables are fully cooked.

Step 7

Remove the chicken thighs from the crockpot, shred them using two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the soup. Stir to incorporate.

Step 8

If using baby spinach leaves, stir them into the soup during the last 10 minutes of cooking to wilt.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts before serving.
