A delightful and hearty soup combining the warmth of ginger and the creaminess of peanut butter, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the ingredients.
Add the chopped broccoli, cauliflower, and onion to the pot and sauté until they begin to soften.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the minced ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, cooking until fragrant.
Cook the spices briefly to release their flavors without burning.
Pour in the water and add the diced tomatoes and peanut butter, stirring to combine.
Stir well to ensure the peanut butter dissolves evenly into the soup.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cover the pot partially to retain moisture while allowing some steam to escape.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired.
Pair with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
