Instructions
-
Preparation: Begin by ensuring all your ingredients are prepared and the sweet potato is boiled until soft.
-
Sautéing Aromatics: In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced celery, leeks, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the leeks and celery have softened and are fragrant.
-
Simmering the Soup: Pour in the hot vegetable stock and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Allow the soup to simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the liquid reduces by half.
-
Blending: Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
-
Final Cooking: Return the blended soup to the saucepan. Bring the soup to a brisk boil just before serving.
-
Seasoning: Stir in the peanut butter, honey, cinnamon powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.
-
Serving: Serve the Sweet Potato, Celery & Peanut Soup hot, garnished with a swirl of heavy cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra touch. This soup pairs beautifully with toasted Herb Mushroom Bruschetta for a complete meal.
