Vegan Carrot Peanut Soup

December 2, 2014 By Richa 38 Comments

Jump to Recipe   Print Recipe

Vegan Carrot Peanut Soup | http://veganricha.com #vegan #glutenfree This Vegan Carrot Peanut Soup is super simple and gets the appetite going. Favorite Thai Peanut butter sauce made into soup

I love this Almond Butter Sriracha Sauce that I use in any grain or veggie bowl. It gets the food craving going and is perfect for the cold weather. This soup is like that sauce made into a nuttier soup. 

Serve the soup with croutons, crackers or veggies. Change up the spices and flavors for variations. We served ours with a good drizzle of sriracha.

It also helps that the color of the soup is so pretty 🙂

    I absolutely love pureed veggie soups. It’s my favorite thing to make with a bunch of random things that I don’t know what else to do with! When you say coconut milk, do you mean the canned stuff or the stuff in the milk carton? Do you think people generally mean one in particular? I’m never quite sure which one people mean when they say that, and the two are pretty different.

      i usually use canned. in general if the recipe doesnt mention which one, then either will work fine. some carton coconut milks are just that pure coconut milk, while some others can have additives. the one with additives might not work in some recipes were you are heating the milk for long as the milk then can taste metallic. the carton ones will also not work as well where full fat coconut milk is needed.

    Can’t go wrong with coconut milk & sriracha. Didn’t think you could dress us a veggie soup, but this looks like it could be served at a gourmet restaurant. Love it!

    I made it last night and my boyfriend and I both loved it! the only difference was that I didn’t puree it because I wanted to feel the carrot pieces and I like chunkier soups. Very yummy! Mine was thick enough (I eyeballed the carrots and peanut amounts, so that may be the reason why) that I’m going to use it on top of a bowl of steamy brown rice ….

      i just added the nutritional total. the calculator with the widget is not too reliable, hence i dont use it. the serving as a side soup is 4 bowls, so divide the total by 2 ot 4 depending on what you are serving.

    Thank you for a delicious recipe ! I was worried the nut butter (I used almond) would give it a weird texture, but thanks to the coconut milk it’s smooth and creamy. Adding this to my winter go-to recipes.

    Cheers,
    Emilie

    Made this soup while on a Whole30. Had to make a couple adjustments to make it compliant (plus substitute celery for tomatoes since I have an allergy – so sad), but it turned out great! Shared it with a friend who is on her first Whole30 to show her we can still have delicious food. Even my sister, the better cook of the two of us, was impressed at how well it turned out. I love the subtlety of the sweet-spicy Thai flavor that emerges! Thanks so much for this recipe!

    Hey Richa! I’ve been following you since ever and really love your blogs.
    How can I replace the maple syrup? I’m in Paraguay (south america) so it’s impossible for me to get it. Maybe honey? There’s also a syrup from sugarcane but I’m not sure since both are really sweet. Any ideas? Thank you in advance <3

      Use sugar. That is neutral flavor so will work just fine.
