Combine vege stock concentrate and 3 cups water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, peel red onion, garlic and ginger. Small dice red onion. Mince garlic and ginger. Add the onion, garlic and ginger to the stock. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Peel sweet potato and dice into 1 cm chunks. Remove silverbeet stems and cut leaves into 1 cm strips. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, combine the peanut butter and tomato paste. Add 1 cup of the simmering stock (from step 1) to the bowl and whisk the mixture together until smooth.
Add the peanut mixture into the soup and mix well to combine. Add sweet potato and silverbeet. Season the soup with sriracha sauce to taste and simmer for about 12-15 minutes more, or until sweet potato is tender. You can leave the sriracha sauce out if you prefer or alternatively let everyone add their own to the finished soup.
