In a medium sauce pan, heat peanut oil over medium-low heat.

Remove from heat and allow to cool. Puree vegetables and broth in a blender. Add sweet potatoes and peanut butter. Blend until smooth. Reheat carefully over low heat, adding more broth or water as needed. Garnish each serving with sliced
