Sweet Potato Soup with Thai Peanut Sauce

Directions

In a soup pot, add the oil over medium heat.
Add the ginger and garlic.
Add the sweet potatoes and stir to coat.
Add enough water to just cover the sweet potatoes. 5.Bring to a boil and then to a simmer.
Let cook for 10 minutes until tender.

Meanwhile, Mix Peanut Butter and Liquids:

In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, and coconut milk.
Stir until the peanut butter is well incorporated into the liquids.

Add Sweetener and Spices:

Add the brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Sriracha sauce (or red pepper flakes for heat).
Adjust the amount of brown sugar and Sriracha to your taste preferences.If you like it sweeter, add more brown sugar; for extra heat, add more Sriracha or

red pepper flakes.

Adjust Consistency:

If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a bit of water. Start by adding a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken slightly as it sits.

Taste and Season:

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add a pinch of salt for more flavor or adjust any other seasonings to your liking.
When sweet potatoes are cooked, stir the peanut butter blend into the hot soup. Adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro, Thai Basil, or peanuts if desired.
