Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 pounds carrots, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon Chinese chili paste
6 cups water or stock of choice
2 tablespoons peanut butter (I like more…)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
a few fresh wedges of limes
Directions:
1. On a soup pot on medium heat, warm the oil and add the onions, carrots, celery, salt, and chili paste. Saute on high heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the water or stock, cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 25 minutes.
2. Stir in the peanut butter, soy sauce, and lime juice. In a blender, puree the soup in batches. Reheat if necessary.
3. Serve with the lime wedges.
