Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed (2 cups)
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can no salt added diced tomatoes, with their juices
  • 2/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallion greens (about 3 scallions)

Directions

Heat the oil in a large soup pot over a medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper and carrots and cook, stirring until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add the cayenne, black pepper, garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the sweet potato, broth, and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

*Puree the soup in the pot using an immersion blender or in a regular blender in 2 batches and return the soup to the pot. Add the peanut butter and honey and stir, over low heat, until the peanut butter melts. Serve warm, garnished with the scallions.

*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

    Very tasty! I didn't think that the flavors would work together but it was very delicious. If you're not a PB fan, only use 1/3 or it becomes pasty and I will be making a slight variation for my next batch.....sour cream and cream cheese!!! I can't wait........

    Really yummy! I eliminated the cayenne & peppers (just don't like the taste and used japanese sweet potatoes and it came out really flavorful. The only warning is that the peanut butter kind of overpowered it a little, so I would go slow w/ the PB & keep tasting. But I also didn't want to buy a whole jar of the natural PB just for this recipe so I used a low fat skippy that I had on hand, so that could be why too.

    I loved this soup. I love sweet potatoes and peanut butter. I thought it was spot on! I did however put 1/2 the amount of the cayenne pepper, as Ellie seems to like things VERY spicy. WONFERFUL!
