Instructions
Toss onion and canned tomatoes into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Heat coconut oil in a large dutch oven on medium heat, add garlic and ginger and saute about 1 minute. Pour in tomato and onion mixture and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, the soup will become a rich deep orangy-red. Add spices, simmer for another minute or so, then remove from heat.
Stir in peanut butter, coconut milk (or creamer) and ½ tablespoon of honey or agave until melted throughout. Season with salt and pepper and adjust sweetness if desired by adding the remaining portion of honey or agave. If you use conventional peanut butter you may not need additional sweetener.
Re-heat before serving, if needed, garnish with chopped peanuts.
Notes
Keep this soup vegan by using agave for sweetness and coconut milk to add some creaminess. Blending the tomatoes and onions before cooking saves time - less chopping, less cooking. Making this a super quick meal. You can use any kind of smooth peanut butter in this soup. Natural, unsweetened varieties or conventional. Adjust amount of sweetener you add if needed.
