Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large sweet potatoes diced
6 medium shallots sliced
2 ribs celery diced
2 carrots diced
5 jalapeno peppers from jar
6 or more cups of chicken broth
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon real butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt to taste
optional: hot sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Pour olive oil and melt butter in large dutch oven. Put on medium heat.
  • 2. Add the shallots, celery, carrots, jalapeno, stir and cook until soft, then add the sweet potatoes, cook and stir five minutes. Add the cumin and nutmeg.
  • 3. Add chicken broth, and make sure it just covers the potatoes. If it doesn't, add some more.
  • 4. Let the mixture come to a boil, then cover and turn down the heat to a simmer. Simmer until the potatoes are tender. (45 minutes to an hour)
  • 5. Puree the soup in batches in a blender until creamy. WARNING: Do small batches in the blender ON LOW to avoid burning yourself! The hot liquid jumps up and can overflow on high. Put the pureed soup in a pan as you finish each batch, then transfer the mixture back to the dutch oven. Heat, the soup, add the peanut butter to it and mix well. Then add the heavy cream and mix again. Heat the soup until it is hot, but don't boil it. Serve immediately with my hot French rolls (this site) and butter. Add hot sauce to the soup if desired. Enjoy!

This soup is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to taste. I like to add a bit of chopped cilantro at the end.

I'm vegan, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It was still very flavorful.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds instead. It was still delicious!

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then I have lunch for the week.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and it was ready for dinner.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet potatoes and peanuts and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.

I'm a big fan of spicy food, so I added an extra jalapeño to my soup. It was the perfect amount of heat for me.

I love the addition of peanuts to this soup. It gives it a unique and creamy texture. I also like that the soup is not too spicy. It's just the right amount of heat.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few extra sweet potatoes after Thanksgiving and this is a great way to use them up.
