Steps:

• Using the sauté setting, heat the coconut oil in the pot of a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker. Add the onion, season with a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the curry paste and stir until combined, 1 minute. Stir in the brown sugar and turmeric, then add the sweet potatoes, 2 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
• Release the pressure naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. Stir thoroughly, allowing some of the sweet potatoes to fall apart and thicken the soup. Add the coconut milk and peanut butter.
• Using an immersion blender, purée the soup. Add the kale and lime juice and stir to combine. Cook until the greens are wilted and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste the soup and add cayenne, more salt, brown sugar, lime juice or curry paste as desired. Serve in bowls with peanuts on top.

• Add the coconut milk, peanut butter, remaining curry paste and 2 1/2 cups water to the slow cooker. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until it is uniformly creamy. Add the lime juice and the kale, and stir to combine. Cook on low until the greens are wilted and tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in more warm water if you would like a looser texture. Taste and add more lime juice or salt if necessary. Serve in bowls with peanuts on top.
