Ingredients

1 cup dried pineapple pieces
1 tablespoon canola oil
½ sweet onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 leek, chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup peanut butter
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 cups water
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup minced green onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Directions

Soak dried pineapple in a bowl of water until softened, at least 30 minutes; drain.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir sweet onion, celery, and leek in hot oil until tender, about 4 minutes.
Sprinkle curry powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt over the vegetables; stir to coat. Cook and stir until strongly fragrant, about 4 minutes more.
Add peanut butter to the pot. Drain about half the juice from the tomatoes and discard; pour remaining tomatoes and juice into the pot. Cook until the tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes. Pour 3 cups water into the pot; add drained pineapple.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer soup for 1 hour. Stir cream, green onion, and garlic into the soup.

Cook's Note:

Puree about half the soup in a blender before adding the whipping cream, garlic, and scallion if you like a thicker texture.
