    I love soups, and this vegan peanut soup with whole peanuts is no exception. If you are looking for more vegan soup ideas, how about thisย Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup, thisย Bean and Brown Rice Soup, or this Cream of Broccoli Soup? You would love them all!

    • Peanut Soup with Whole Peanuts

    Recipe ingredients

    jug of coconut milk, roasted peanuts in a bowl and chopped vegetables for making peanut soup.

    Whole roasted peanuts: I make this soup using shelled roasted peanuts (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab), lightly salted or unsalted. If using salted ones, adjust the salt amount accordingly. Try some Peanut Butter Cookies with Whole Peanuts, too. Or make Peanut Butter Chicken Curry.

    Three large carrots and one leek.

    The curry powder is rather standard and mild. You can use your favorite brand of curry powder, even a spicier sort. If using a hotter curry powder, adjust the amount according to your taste; 2 teaspoons of hot curry powder would probably be too much.

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    How to make peanut soup with whole peanuts?

    Preparations: Finely chop the onions and garlic. Slice the carrots. Thoroughly clean the leek and slice it thinly.

    sauteing carrots and onions in a soup pot.

    Step #1: Saute the onions, garlic, and carrots for about 3 minutes. Add some of the vegetable broth and allow it to reduce.

    stir sliced leeks and carrots in a pot with a wooden spoon.

    Step #2: Add leek, maple syrup (or honey, if not vegan), and curry powder. Stir well to coat the vegetables with spices.

    adding ingredients to peanut soup in a pot.

    Step #3: Add the remaining vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the veggies are almost done.

    simmering coconut milk and peanut soup in large pot.

    Step #4: Add coconut milk and simmer briefly. Turn off the heat and add the whole peanuts to the soup. Adjust the taste.

    How to store and reheat?

    Refrigerate the peanut soup with whole peanuts in an airtight container for 2-3 days. The roasted peanuts will get softer, but the soup will still be delicious.

    Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

    What to serve with it?

    Any kind of bread or rolls, such as Spelt Bread, Breakfast Rolls, Stuffed Bread Rolls, or Yeast Rolls from Scratch.

    Buttered Rice or Carrot Rice.

    A salad on the side, something like Spelt Grain Salad or Curried Couscous Salad.

    Notes

      I think peanuts and veggies go together great, but I never made soup with peanuts. That's a very interesting idea, I will try it. x
