Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil Or Ghee for non-vegans
  • 1 Large Sweet Onions finely diced
  • 2 Celery Stalks Sliced
  • 2 Large Carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves grated
  • 2 Inch Piece Fresh Ginger Peeled and grated
  • 1 Red Chili (or to taste) sliced
  • 1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
  • 4 Cups Low-sodium Vegetable Broth
  • 2 Large Sweet Potatoes peeled and chopped
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 Green Onions sliced
  • 4 Tbsp Roughly Chopped Peanuts

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and ginger and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until softened.
  • Stir in chili and peanut butter, then add the sweet potatoes, broth, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender about 18-20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and using a hand blender, process until smooth and creamy.
  • Garnish the soup with green onions, chili, and peanuts, and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer the soup a bit thinner you can add an extra cup or two of broth.
  • If you don’t have a hand blender, transfer it in stages to your blender jug and blend until smooth. 
  • Top with cilantro for a pop of freshness.
  • Add some cayenne or nutmeg, for an extra kick of spice.
  • Serve with some crusty bread for dipping!
  • You can easily double this hearty recipe if you want to plan for meals ahead or serve a big crowd.
