Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat.
Dice onion and garlic. Add to pot with 1 Tbsp olive oil: Add carrots and sauté for 5 minutes.
Season with a generous pinch each salt and pepper, then add veggie brothand stir.
Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until veggies are tender (test by cutting a larger piece of carrot in half – it should cut with ease).
Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Add peanut butter and blend to combine. Add water if you prefer a more liquid and less creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For a touch of added sweetness, add a Tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar. Add more chili flakes for more heat.
Serve immediately with fresh (Thai) basil or cilantro. Top with a scoop of coconut milk and some drops of sriracha for extra heat.
