Adding peanut butter to soup may sound a bit strange to some, but after trying this recipe, or other non traditional recipes for the sweet spread, you will be happy that you did!
4-5 large carrots, skinned and chopped
1 large potato, chopped
3 table spoons peanut butter
1 small onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
2 table spoons fresh basil
2 table spoons fresh cilantro
1 tea spoon cumin seeds
2 table spoons salt (or more, to taste)
1 table spoon black pepper
2 table spoon fresh ginger, chopped
5 cups water
Dash of sesame oil.
Put all ingredients in a soup pot, and boil for 20 minutes, until the vegetables have become tender. Remove from heat and set aside for at least 2 hours to cool.
Once the soup has cooled, transfer to a blender, and blend until the soup as reached a uniform consistency.
Return the soup to the soup pot, and heat gently before serving.
Oh, and it's a creamed one, too! You're right, I've never thought about peanut butter in soup before, and with the carrots, I'm sure the flavours marry well. Thanks for the idea! Voted!
Voted. It sounds wonderful! Another Indonesian speciality? You might be interested in my latest recipe for Do-It-Yourself Doritos, and if you like it, you know what to do!! Thanks :-)
the sesame oil is just for extra flavour, its not that important. I just happen to love it and put it in everything.
Vote #4! I would have never thought about combining carrots with peanut butter. Will have to give this recipe a try.
Voted! This sounds amazing! I'm definitely going to try it, especially with fall around the corner.
