Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, sauté the 1 chopped onion in 2 tbsp oil over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the 3 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, until it darkens slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 4 cups vegetable broth, 1 diced potato, and 2 sliced carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk in the 0.5 cup peanut butter until smooth. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Season with 1 tsp salt (add more to taste). Stir in the 0.25 cup chopped parsley just before serving.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, optionally with extra parsley on top.
