How to Make Autumn Gold Peanut Soup

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed, 1 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and diced, 4 cups chicken broth, 1 cup apple juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the sweet potato and apples are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until completely melted and smooth.
  6. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until completely smooth.
  7. Return the soup to the saucepan and heat through. Do not boil.
  8. To serve, ladle the soup into warm bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, chopped peanuts, chopped chives, and thinly sliced apples.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
