SPICY CARROT PEANUT SOUP image

Number Of Ingredients 15

Serves 6 to 8
Yields about 8 cups
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
1 tablespoon canola or other vegetable oil
1 large onion, thickly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 pounds carrots, peeled and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Chinese chili paste*
6 cups water
2 tablespoons peanut butter (see Note)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
a few fresh lime wedges

Steps:

  • Or use a fresh stemmed and chopped fresh chile and 2 minced garlic cloves. In a soup pot on medium heat, warm the oil and add the onions, carrots, celery, salt, and chili paste. Sauté on high heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the water, cover, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 25 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter, soy sauce, and lime juice. In a blender, purée the soup in batches. Reheat, if necessary. Serve with lime wedges. Note: If you wish, replace the peanut butter with freshly ground peanuts. Grind ½ cup unsalted roasted peanuts in a blender or small food processor and add them to the soup just before puréeing it. Variation: Try serving the soup cold. It's not your usual chilled soup candidate, but we like it!
