Heat oil in a large soup pot. Once hot, add onion and garlic and cook for three minutes. Add the cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt and cook for another minute.

Add the bell pepper, carrots, potatoes, and celery. Season lightly with a little salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for four minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vegetable stock, peanut butter and corn kernels, stirring until thoroughly combined.
