Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 lbs carrots, peeled and chunked
2 medium potatoes, peeled and chunked
5 cups vegetable broth or 5 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons peanut butter
toasted pumpkin seeds (optional) or chopped cilantro, garnish (optional)

1
Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
2
Saute onions with ginger, cumin, and cayenne until onions are soft, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic when you think there is about 45 secs to 1 minute left to achieve the soft onions [Do not let the garlic burn].
3
Add salt, carrots, potatoes, and broth and bring to a boil.
4
Reduce heat to low. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
5
Add the peanut butter.
6
Puree the soup. This is most easily done with a hand-blender right in the pot.
7
Stir in orange juice.
8
Ladle in bowls and garnish if desired.

This soup freezes very well in tupperware. I'm sure it will freeze well for many months, however I don't know for sure because mine has never stayed frozen for longer than a month due to being eaten!
