Recipe Introduction


This creamy soup blends flavors popular in Thai recipes, including peanuts,
coconut, lemon grass, and a little bit of red pepper for "heat." Serve small
portions as an appetizer course or serve along with a salad for a full meal.


List of Ingredients




1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped red sweet pepper
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon very finely chopped lemon grass (white portion only) or 1
teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 14-ounce can chicken broth (about 1-3/4 cups)
1 13-1/2-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk (about 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Chopped peanuts (optional)
Snipped fresh cilantro (optional)
Red sweet pepper strips (optional)

Recipe



In a medium saucepan cook onion, celery, and finely chopped red sweet
pepper in hot margarine or butter about 4 minutes or until vegetables are
tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour, lemon grass or lemon peel, and
ground red pepper. Add chicken broth and coconut milk all at once. Cook and
stir until mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1
minute more.
Add peanut butter and soy sauce; stir until well blended and heated
through. If desired, top each serving with peanuts, cilantro, and red pepper
strips.
Makes 8 appetizer or side-dish servings.
