Half-Baked Harvest describes this as spicy... it assuredly is not to anyone outside the Soviet bloc. It's packed with flavor, though, and easy to make!

Instant Pot Thai Inspired Peanut Soup with Vegan Halloumi (GF, V)

Changes: replaced soy sauce with coconut aminos;


Ingredients

2 tbsp sesame or olive oil

2 small shallots, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced or grated

3 tbsp Thai red curry paste

4 cups vegetable broth (homemade to reduce sodium)

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk

2 tbsp coconut aminos

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed (about 2 cups)

1 bunch Tuscan #kale, chopped

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

8 oz violife grilling cheese (vegan halloumi), cubed

2 tbsp sesame seeds

Fresh limes and chopped peanuts, for serving


Instructions

Set the instant pot to sauté. Cook 1 tablespoon oil, the shallots, and garlic. Cook until the garlic is golden, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the curry paste, cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the broth, peanut butter, coconut milk, and aminos, stirring to combine. Add the sweet potatoes. Seal and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.


Once done cooking, use the natural or quick release to release the steam. Set the Instant pot to sauté. Stir in the kale and cilantro, cook another 5 minutes. Taste, add salt if needed.


Meanwhile, make the vegan halloumi. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the vegan halloumi and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sesame seeds. Remove from the heat.


Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with vegan halloumi and peanuts. Zest, then juice the lime over each bowl. Enjoy!
