Senegalese Peanut Soup

This is based on a weightwatchers recipe. I usually just increase the peanut butter (recipe contains original amount) and I've even further simplified the already easy instructions.

Ingredients
15 oz can chickpeas
14 1/2 oz can diced tomatoes
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (can use vegetable broth to make this vegetarian)
3 Tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp peanut oil
2 onions, chopped
1 in piece fresh ginger, chopped
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
chopped cilantro (optional, I usually skip this)

Preparation
Heat the oil in a pan. Add onions, saute until soft. Add spices and garlic, saute for 30 secs. Add all other ingredients.

Bring to the boil, simmer for 10 mins.

Puree.
