Ingredients In Peanut Soup

I love how all these ingredients work together to make such good flavor. Like, who knew tomatoes and peanut butter could exist in the same recipe? It works. It just really works.

Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:

  • Aromatics like onion, jalapeño, and garlic.
  • Sweet potatoes.
  • Fire-roasted tomatoes.
  • Coconut milk.
  • Curry powder.
  • Peanuts and peanut butter.
  • Kale.

Love this wholesome bunch. Gather it all up and let’s go!

How To Make Peanut Soup

There are just a few steps to bring this recipe from stove to table.

  1. Sauté the aromatics. Heat some oil and add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.
  2. Add sweet potatoes. Get them a little browned and flavorful.
  3. Add liquid and spices. Coconut milk, tomatoes, curry powder, YUM.
  4. Finish with peanut butter and kale. This brings it to creamy, silky perfection, with a hit of nutrition at the end.

Ways To Make This Recipe

Here are a few methods to make this soup:

  • Instant Pot: Raise your hand if you got one for Christmas. Yeah? Good news, because this can be made in the Instant Pot!
  • Slow Cooker: also a yes!
  • Stovetop: ALSO a yes! In almost the same amount of time! You just need to babysit it a little more, but hey – babysitting garlic, onion, jalapeño, sweet potatoes, and a creamy soup base as it comes together happens to be my all-time favorite kind of babysitting.

So many options, all made easy when you have so little time.

Spoonful of Spicy Peanut Soup.

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 12 cups kale, stems removed, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeo, minced
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 cups water
  • half an onion, diced
  • one 14-ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1 teaspoon curry and/or turmeric
  • one 14-ounce can light coconut milk

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Saute until soft and fragrant.

Step 2

Add sweet potatoes. I like to brown them a little bit with the aromatics to get them nice and flavorful.

Step 3

Add tomatoes, coconut milk, water, spices, and peanuts. Simmer until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Add peanut butter and kale. Simmer until everything is thick, creamy, and delicious. Top with more peanuts and a little cilantro if you’re obsessed like me.

Editor's Note:

Instant Pot: Cook everything except peanut butter and kale on high pressure for about 3 minutes with a quick release. (Sometimes I reduce the liquid when I make it in the Instant Pot by a cup or so, and then just add more as needed when it’s all done. But that is optional – it should work fine either way.) Stir in the peanut butter and kale after cooking. Voila!
