INSTRUCTIONS
In a separate pot with a tight lid, bring water to a boil before adding rice. Cover the pot and allow simmering for time stated in package directions.  Remove from heat and allow the rice to steam in the pot for another 5 minutes. Remove cover to stop the cooking process.

While rice is cooking, begin to assemble the soup.   In medium stockpot, bring broth to boil. Add onion, ginger, garlic and 1 tsp salt to broth and cook on med-low for 20 mins. In medium, heat-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and tomato paste, then transfer 1-2 cups of hot broth to the bowl. Whisk until smooth, and then pour mixture into pot with broth and mix well. Stir kale into soup and add hot sauce as desired. Simmer for 15 more mins on med-low heat, stirring often. Serve in bowls over cooked rice. Garnish with chopped peanuts if desired.

One 10-ounce bag shredded Carrots
1/2 cup Golden Raisins
3 Scallions, white and green parts, finely chopped

DRESSING
1 cup Greek Yogurt
2 tbls Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tbls Olive Oil
2 tbls Honey
Salt & Pepper to taste

Prepare Slaw ahead of time and refrigerate overnight to give the flavors a chance to meld and for the veggies to soften up a bit. In a large bowl, whisk the yogurt, vinegar, olive oil and honey, taste and season with salt & pepper.  Add the broccoli, carrots, raisins and scallions and toss to coat. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
