    I adore this soup - so easy to make, delicious and satisfying. I've also made it with chunks of sweet potato added for a stand-alone meal soup. The distinct flavors of fresh cilantro and curry powder, along with the unexpected addition of peanut butter, turn a simple tomato-based soup into something special. You can make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth. From Gourmet, Feb. 2006, via Epicurious.

    Ingredients

    • 1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 2 teaspoons curry powder (preferably Madras)
    • 1 (14-oz) can diced tomatoes in juice, chopped if large, reserving juice
    • 1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (14 fl oz)
    • 1 cup hot water
    • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

    Directions

    1. Cook onion, salt, and pepper in oil in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
    2. Add curry powder and cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes.
    3. Add tomatoes (with their juice) and broth and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
    4. Stir hot water into peanut butter until smooth and add to soup.
    5. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro before serving.
