Method

In large stockpot, saute diced onions in olive oil; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sea salt. Add diced carrot and yam. Stir occassionally, saute until carrot and yam just begin to soften. Add thyme (the whole sprig; you will remove stem later.) Stir in red curry paste and peanut butter until they begin to melt and create a thick sauce. Add chicken. Stir in chicken broth and tomatoes. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until yams and carrots are soft. Remove thyme stem. Salt & pepper to taste. For a slight variation, you may add 1/2 cup roasted, unsalted whole peanuts when you add the chicken.
