Autumn Gold Peanut Soup

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound yams, peeled and cut into chunks
1 large apple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
1 (14.5-ounce) can chicken broth
3/4 cup apple juice
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally until onion is transparent. Add yams, apple, chicken broth, apple juice and cinnamon. Season to taste with salt and black ground pepper. Cover and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until yams and apples are tender, about 20 minutes.
