Crockpot Potato and Peanut Butter Stew
This peanut butter stew is packed with vegetables (potatoes, onions, carrots, diced tomatoes) and then cooked in a broth filled with spices. Finally the peanut butter gets added in at the end to make the broth creamy. My kids love when I tell them we’re having peanut butter for dinner! If you’re not used to adding peanut butter into dinner dishes, consider this a challenge to try it! The peanut butter is going to give this stew a savory, nutty taste that we love. Serve it in a bowl over rice, and enjoy this hearty stew for dinner soon! Love potato soups?

How long does it take in the crockpot?
This recipe takes 4 hours in the crockpot. You will add the peanut butter in during the last 30 minutes.
Ingredients
potatoes – I recommend Idaho potatoes, dice them up – no need to peel them onion – slice or diced, but I think slices of onion make them more interesting for this soup carrots minced garlic chicken broth (or you can use vegetable broth) diced tomatoes (can or homemade diced tomatoes) spices: cumin, allspice, paprika peanut butter – pick your favorite brand – creamy or crunchy both work well!
How to Make Potato Stew in the Slow Cooker
Add the potatoes into the slow cooker. Now add in the sliced onion and diced tomatoes. Here comes the diced carrots. Now add in the broth and all the spices. Close the lid and cook until potatoes are tender (fork should easily slide in). Scoop peanut butter in, mix to stir and cook a little bit longer. Use your favorite peanut butter btw – crunchy and creamy both work well! Serve in bowls over rice and enjoy your peanut butter stew!
How to Serve Peanut Butter Stew
You can serve this stew as is, or for a full meal, serve over rice or egg noodles. Personally my family loves it over rice, and loves how the rice soaks up the peanut butter broth!
Storing leftovers and reheating
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. To reheat, heat up in the microwave, or heat in a pot on the stovetop for a few minutes until it’s all warmed up.
