Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon peanut oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 medium onions, sliced (about 4 cups)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and quartered
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
Directions
Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add curry powder and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in sweet potatoes, chicken broth and tomatoes, and bring soup to a boil. Simmer, covered, 20 to 30 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of peanut oil. Add the turkey and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up any clumps until cooked through. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Drain on paper towels.
Add cooked ground turkey, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne, peanut butter, and coconut milk to the soup, stirring to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.

This is a keeper! I've made this several times so I've made a few mods: Use TWO tablespoons of homemade curry powder, it really makes a difference. I like Alton Brown's curry powder recipe, it's easy!. I use canned whole tomatoes that I crush with my hands. Just drain the turkey, forget the paper towel. I added an extra cup of chicken broth, and use a whole can of light coconut milk, 13.5 oz, instead of just half a cup . Be extra generous with the peanut butter, a heaping half cup, and If you use unsweetened organic peanut butter you will need to add a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. Serve it over brown rice, topped with cilantro, chopped dry-roasted peanuts and a squeeze of lime for a hearty meal. A perfect compliment is a sweet and sour marinated salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions. Pair this with a crisp Pinot Gris or Grigio!

This might be the best soup I've ever had. It is SO GOOD! It takes ages, what with peeling potatoes, chopping, simmering, sauteeing...but it's totally worth it. The peanut & coconut are very subtle so it doesn't have a Thai-peanut sauce taste, and it smells divine. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken, and didn't measure the cayenne but it wasn't too spicy. Thanks Emeril! This is why I always trust his recipes!!
