Instructions
1. In a large saucepan, heat the butter over
medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. With a whisk, stir in the pumpkin, peanut butter, chicken
broth, curry, cayenne, harissa and salt. Bring just to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
3. Purée the soup in a food processor or in
several batches in a blender. Pour back into the pan and set over medium-low heat. Stir in ½ cup yogurt and the lemon juice. Heat through for about 5 minutes but do not let the soup come to a boil.
4. Ladle into soup bowls and garnish each with
the remaining yogurt and chopped peanuts.
