Instructions

  • In a medium-size pot, heat the peanut oil on medium-low heat.

  • Turn up the heat to bring everything to a rolling boil, and then turn the heat down to low.
  • Give the soup a taste test and add salt/sugar to your liking if you feel the need.
  • Give it a good stir, then partially cover the pot and let everything simmer for approx. 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the soup to a food processor or blender. Do this in batches if you must.
  • Add the yogurt, and process until you get the smooth consistency you're after. The texture can be a personal preference thing, so go with the flow and work at it until you get the results you're after.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with yogurt, pepitas, and cilantro or flat leaf parsley (all garnishes are optional).
