Spicy Peanut Soup
(www.vegweb.com)
1 medium cauliflower, roughly chopped 1 large sweet
potato, roughly chopped (regular potatoes or squash work too) 4
cups veggie broth 1 medium onion, chopped 1 (big) can tomatoes
1/2 - 1/3 cup natural peanut butter 2 tablespoons grated fresh
ginger 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
or to taste Salt to taste 1/4 cup unsalted peanuts 1/4 cup
unsweetened coconut Preparation - In 2 tablespoon of
olive oil, sauté onion until soft. Add sweet potato and cauliflower,
sautéing for a couple of minutes, stirring to ensure they don't
burn. - Add stock and cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes or
until cauliflower and potato are reasonably soft. - Add tomatoes,
ginger and garlic. Blend everything with a hand blender for at least
two minutes (until smooth). - Add peanut butter and cayenne and
blend thoroughly. Salt to taste (I usually add about a tsp). Reduce
heat to minimum and simmer while preparing garnish. Garnish:
- In a dry pan, toast peanuts and coconut on medium heat until
coconut begins to brown... not too long as it will continue to brown
once removed from heat. - Ladle soup into individual bowls and
top with about a tablespoon of the peanut and coconut mixture. -
Serve! Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 20
minutes.
