Pumpkin and peanut butter unite in this creamy Thai-inspired soup, elevated by the crunch of roasted chickpeas. To prepare this comforting vegan and gluten-free delight, start by roasting a can of chickpeas with two tablespoons of peanut butter, one tablespoon of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until crispy.
- Saute onions and minced garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat until fragrant, approximately three minutes, after first melting the coconut oil.
- Combine all spices, then reverse their order and allow the mixture to simmer for one minute.
- As the aromatic spices mingle with the sizzling pumpkin, I’ll give it a good stir and allow it to cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together in perfect harmony.
- Simmer the broth vigorously to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat and let the soup cook gently for exactly 15 minutes.
- Roast chickpeas over medium heat by heating a pan until it reaches that temperature, then adding some melted coconut oil and cooking them for 5-7 minutes while occasionally stirring to ensure even browning.
- As the mixture simmers, allow the richness of tamari and the creaminess of peanut butter to meld together in harmony, stirring occasionally, before allowing the flavors to unfold over an additional 5-7 minutes of gentle heat.
- Blending the soup to a silky consistency, I then take a moment to appreciate its velvety texture before adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper to balance the flavors.
- Savory soup is served in bowls, topped with a rich and creamy combination of coconut milk and soy yogurt, accompanied by the nutty flavors of peanut butter-roasted chickpeas, the aromatic essence of coriander, and the subtle heat of chili flakes.
