Virginia Peanut Soup
My sister, Lois, and I discovered this soup on a trip to Williamsburg, VA. Absolutely wonderful!
List of Ingredients
4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) Butter
1/4 cup Onion, diced
1 stalk Celery, diced
1 1/2 Tbs. All-purpose Flour
1 quart Chicken Broth, warmed
1 cup Peanut Butter
Pinch of Celery Salt
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Tbs. Lemon Juice
Ground PeanutsRecipe
Melt the butter in a 4-quart saucepan over moderate heat. Add the onion and celery. Saute the vegetables for about 5 minutes, but do not let them brown. Add the flour and mix well. Add the warmed chicken broth; cook the mixture about 30 minutes. Remove the mixture from the stovetop. Strain, then add the peanut butter, celery salt, salt, and lemon juice. Just prior to serving, sprinkle a few ground peanuts over the top of the warm soup.
