Thai Napa Cabbage and Peanut Soup image

I found this in a cookbook a couple of years ago and finally had the courage to try it and decided to share it with you.

Provided by Keolani

Categories     Asian

Time 45m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
6 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 cups shredded napa cabbage
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
sugar
chopped roasted peanuts, for garnish
fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
toasted coconut, for garnish
lime wedge, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat peanut oil in heavy pot over low-med heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger and cook until onion is clear, about 5 minute.
  • Add turmeric, curry, cayenne and coriander and cook, stirring often for another 2 minute Stir in broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add potatoes and sweet potatoes and simmer over low heat until almost cooked, about 10 minute.
  • Place peanut butter in a bowl and whisk in about 1 cup of the hot stock from the soup. Add lemon juice and soy sauce and stir well.
  • Whisk the mixture back into the soup and simmer for 5 minute.
  • Stir in the cabbage and coconut milk and cook until heated through.
  • Adjust the seasoning, adding sugar if desired.
  • Garnish each serving with peanuts, cilantro and coconut and a squeeze of lime juice.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give the soup a smooth and velvety texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can blend it until smooth in a food processor or high-powered blender.
  • Make sure the coconut milk is well-shaken: Coconut milk can separate over time, so it's important to shake it well before using it. This will help to ensure that the soup is creamy and consistent.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooking the vegetables will make them mushy.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Thai peanut soup include cilantro, peanuts, lime wedges, and rice noodles.

Conclusion:

Thai peanut soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The creamy peanut broth is packed with flavor and the vegetables add a nice crunch. This soup is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your liking. Whether you like it spicy, mild, or somewhere in between, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table.
