Ingredients

Scale

Sauté the Aromatics:

2 tablespoons avocado or peanut oil
2 shallots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced

Add the Spices and Sweet Potatoes:

1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
6 cups vegetable broth

Blend the Soup:

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Finish the Soup:

Chopped peanuts, for garnish

Instructions

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the avocado or peanut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.
Add the Spices and Sweet Potatoes: Stir in the ancho chile powder and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Blend the Soup: Once the sweet potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
Finish the Soup: Stir in the peanut butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to fully combine the flavors.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped peanuts for a bit of crunch. Serve warm and enjoy!
