Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 small onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced; 2 celery stalks, diced; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 teaspoon curry powder; 1/2 teaspoon paprika; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a hint of spice); 4 cups vegetable broth; 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter; 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk; Salt and pepper to taste; Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish; Crushed peanuts for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the curry powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using), stirring well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and coconut milk until smooth.
Slowly pour the peanut butter mixture into the soup, stirring continuously to combine. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup cool slightly.
Ladle the Creamy Peanut Butter Soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
