- Add the coconut milk and 1 cup broth, simmer or 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the basil and scallions and bring the soup to a boil, about 5 minutes.
- Add the kale a bunch at a time to wilt down (this will create space for the next handful of kale).
- Add the remainder of the broth, corn, and scoop in the peanut butter, making sure to dissolve all the lumps. Add the lemon juice, stir.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, check on your soup to ensure it doesn't burn and add more broth if necessary. Add salt and peer to taste, stirring occasionally.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot with some fresh bread if you like!
