I love how the peanut butter thickens this soup and how the little chunks of peanut in the peanut butter add texture. Don’t use a fancy peanut butter for this soup. Whatever is in your panty will be just fine.
It’s that easy: It’s so easy to peel ginger when you use a spoon to scrape away the thin skin and you don’t waste as much as you do with a knife. You can also grate it instead of chopping (but then you have to clean the grater).

Ingredients
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 thumbnail-sized piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp. curry powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 3 cups chicken broth
- One 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1 13.5 oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
Instructions
- On a large cutting board, chop the onion, mince the garlic and ginger and peel and dice the sweet potatoes.
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add onion, garlic, ginger, pepper flake, curry powder, 1/2 tsp. salt and a few grinds of pepper and sauté for 2 minutes or until the onion begins to soften.
- Crumble in the turkey and another 1/2 tsp. salt and a few grinds of pepper, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Stir in sweet potatoes, chicken broth and tomatoes and bring soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the peanut butter, coconut milk and brown sugar. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 more minutes or until potatoes are tender and flavors have blended.
- Taste and season with more salt, pepper or brown sugar, if needed. Squeeze in half the lime juice for more zip, taste and add more if needed.
- Ladle the soup into heated serving bowls and garnish with the cilantro.
Variation: Use cubed winter squash instead of sweet potato for a change of pace.
