Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Soup

Nothing beats a warming soup. And with so many pumpkin based recipes that i have been making, it was inevitable that Pumpkin soup had to be one of them. I know I had made a Roasted Pumpkin soup long back, but then there are always variations galore. I had this one recipe from a neighbor which has such a creamy texture, that I had to make it. What more, it had this one ingredient which I am absolutely crazy about. Peanut Butter.
Along with the homemade pumpkin puree, it also has sweet potatoes along with peanut butter. They make a delicious soup and a different one from our regular affair. Its nutritious thanks to the way it is cooked with myriad flavors coming together. Try it for yourself. It will warm you up in a jiffy in the winters.
Basic Information
Prep Time: Under 15 min
Cook Time: Under 30 min
Serves: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup homemade pumpkin puree
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 tbsp butter
- about 1-2 cups vegetable stock or water
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- few chives for garnish ( or any herb of your choosing)
Method
1
Chop the sweet potatoes roughly and steam them.

2
Until soft. Instead of boiling, I almost always try to steam them.

3
Blend it into smooth puree. You can peel the skin, I prefer them on.

4
In a pan, melt the butter in low heat and stir pumpkin, sweet potatoes and peanut butter.

5
Add the stock/water and seasoning. Stir until it becomes smooth and well blended.

Cook for about 10 minutes. You can garnish it with chives and sour cream.

so yummy@!
easy to make and super yummy,,,fantastic soup!!!
healthy soup , i love it !!!!
Maybe my sweet potato was larger, but I took nearly 3 cups of water to get this to a decent creamy soup consistency. It still came out delicious. Lots of pepper.
This is tasty, yummy and most of all this might be a good natural diet to expecting moms.
Tried this but found it a bit too bland for my liking – ended up adding red pepper flakes, curry powder, cilantro, green onions, corn, and some brown sugar. So I guess it didn’t end up being the same soup at all, but it made a great base and was wonderful inspiration!
Simply Super Super.
Looks absolutely delicious. Sweet potato + peanut butter is pure genius! And you even used my favorite kind of sweet potato—Japanese, yes? So good!
umm, those look like regular potatoes in the pics….
Yeah – may be – but they are sweet potatoes
This looks absolutely delicious, and perfect for a chilly evening.
