Soup in the Summer

It will soon (technically) be summer. Yet, it has been so flipping chilly and rainy here that we have been eating hot soup!

This is another recipe for Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan, a Spicy Yam and Peanut Soup with Chickpeas (well, spicy sweet potato and peanut soup for you in the US)!

It has generous amounts of fresh ginger and garlic and just a small amount of natural peanut butter (since I don't like the pb taste to overwhelm the soup).

The yams/sweet potatoes and seasonings are first pureed into a semi-smooth soup and then whole chickpeas are added in.

I've mentioned before that I love soups. I have several favorites from Vive and TEV, and this is most certainly a new favorite. Hey, I might even eat it when - uhh, IF - it gets hot and summerlike here!
