Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 14-ounce can coconut milk
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup crunchy peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red curry paste and stir to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger evenly.
Mix in the peanut butter and allow it to melt slightly, stirring to combine with the curry paste.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, whisking to create a smooth consistency.
Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, salt, and black pepper, stirring to evenly distribute the flavors.
Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or transfer to a countertop blender in batches if necessary).
Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and crunchy peanuts.
Serve warm and enjoy!
