Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 3 medium turnips
  • 3 large carrots
  • 1 quart low salt fat free chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons reduced fat peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1/2 cup fat free half n half
  • chopped cilantro
  • toasted sesame seeds

Instruction

  • Peel and coarsley chop the onion, turnips, carrots, garlic and ginger. Don't worry about finesse - you are going to blend it all anyhow.
  • Heat the olive oil in large saucepan to medium high. Saute the onions for 3-4 minutes until they sweat. Add the garlic and saute for 2-3 more minutes. Add the carrots and turnips.
  • Pour in the broth and simmer until the turnips and carrots are very soft - about 20-25 minutes.
  • Add the ginger and turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes (safety first!) then add the peanut butter, half and half, sriracha and tamari.
  • Use an immersion blender (or carefully blend in a regular blender if you dont have immersion) until VERY smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Return to heat and bring back to a simmer.
  • Note that this soup is quite thick - if you prefer a thinner soup you can add some more broth.
  • ladle into a bowl, top with sesame seeds and cilantro, and enjoy!!!
