- 3 large cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried chili flakes
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 2 ½ - 3 cups thinly sliced carrots - 450 g / 1 pound
- 1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes - or 2 medium tomatoes (diced) + ½ cup of tomato puree
- ⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 ½ cups water
- 1 ½ cup cooked chickpeas - or a 15 oz can, drained and rinsed
- 1 ¼ - 1 ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 Tbsp coconut aminos*
TO SERVE:
- Toasted peanuts
- Parsley leaves
- Chili flakes
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pot on medium to high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 – 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes.
- Add all 5 spices and cook until fragrant, 1 – 2 minutes, always stirring so they don’t burn.
- Add the carrots and stir well, make sure they get coated in the oily spice mix. Keep stirring for another minute.
- Add tomato purée, tomatoes, peanut butter and water. Stir a little bit until everything is combined and the peanut butter has dissolved.
- Bring the soup to a boil and reduce the heat. Let simmer for about 15 – 20 minutes, the carrots should be tender by now.
- Place two cups of chunky soup in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended mixture back into the pot.
- Now add chickpeas, salt (adjust the amount to your liking, if the chickpeas or the peanut butter are salted, you’ll probably need less) and coconut aminos. Cook for another 3 minutes, until the chickpeas are warm.
- Serve hot and top with toasted peanuts, chopped parsley leaves and more chili flakes.
- Enjoy this hearty soup!
