Thai Peanut Soup (Vegan, GF)

I know, weird right, peanut butter in soup!? So weird but so good, you guys will just have to trust me on this one, it took me a while to convince Jenn, she regrets being so resistant...because of the sheer yumminess of this soup! If you're still weirded out think about this: peanuts are actually legumes not nuts, where are legumes found? why in soup of course! I found this recipe on about.com, it was rated 5 stars so that was convincing enough for me to make it. The original recipe has an option to add chickpeas, if you'd like a really hearty soup, go ahead and add them in, but seriously it is sooo filling as is. It's crazy addicting too so watch out, I had some for breakfast this morning :P.

Tastes like pad thai, extra peanuts :)




1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper, diced
1 carrot, sliced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne
4 tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 cups diced tomatoes
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup vegetable broth
juice from 3 limes
1 tsp salt
cilantro, chopped
dry roasted peanuts, unsalted, chopped

In a large pot, cook onions, peppers and garlic until tender (5 minutes). Add all other ingredients except cilantro and peanuts. Simmer until cooked through. Top with cilantro and chopped peanuts. Makes 5-6 servings.

  6. One of my favorite soups of all time is a spiced Morrocan soup made with tomato and peanut butter (though these days, I have to sub almond butter for the PB). I can only imagine how delicious this is!

  7. oh, PB in soup or sauces is divine...although, in sad news, I developed a funny intollerance w/ peanuts. recently. Cashews make a nice replacement!

  12. I made this 2 days ago and it turned out delicious. It is also very simple and quick. The only thing I did different is add a jalepeno and a couple teaspoons of raw sugar because I like Thai dishes with a little bit of sweetness to them. Thanks for this!

  18. I'm a little bit confused right now (english is not my native language): Does red pepper mean red bell pepper or the spicy kind of pepper?

    1. Did you use canned coconut milk or regular carton-style coconut milk? If the latter, can I sub in something like almond milk instead?

      Delete
  19. it was the canned coconut milk, i'm sure the carton style would be fine, it will just be a lighter soup. :)
