Coconut Curry Peanut Soup

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute the onion and celery for about 5 minutes, or until they’re softened through. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute more, then add the flour, curry powder and red pepper flakes. Saute for about 1 minute to cook the flour, and then stir in vegetable broth and water. Bring the broth to a boil and then reduce the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Add in the peanut butter and coconut milk. Using either an immersion blender or by transferring the soup in batches to a standard blender, blend soup until it is completely smooth. Serve immediately.

Tip: This soup is also a great sauce for pasta but you might need to cook it a few minutes longer to thicken it up. Yummy!
