Instructions
Combine first 9 ingredients in a soup pot. Bring to a boil, then turn down to medium low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Top with peanuts and green onion, if desired.

Notes
Broth can be canned or made using bouillon. For each cup of broth use 1 cup very hot water and 1 teaspoon or 1 cube bouillon.
Substitute a 10 ounce package of frozen spinach for the fresh spinach.
Flavor boosters: chopped cilantro, red and green peppers, raisins.
To avoid peanuts or peanut butter, try sunflower seeds or sunflower seed butter.
