OK, I must confess. This recipe is NOT mine; I have NOT even tried it. I post it here in the honest attempt to sucker one of y’all, my faithful readers, into trying it and reporting back (or your heirs reporting back) concerning its edibility… and possible toxicity.
*heh*
Note that I HAVE warned you. What you do with the following information is ENTIRELY on your own head!
PEANUT BUTTER SOUP
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
1 med. carrot, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp. chopped onion
3/4 c. water
2 chicken flavored or beef flavored bouillon cubes
2 c. water, divided
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 c. half and half
Chopped peanuts (doesn’t saw raw or roasted, so I assume raw–ed.)
Carrot strips, optional
Combine first 4 ingredients in a saucepan; cover and cook over low heat 10 minutes or until tender. Add bouillon cubes and 1 1/2 cup water, cook, uncovered, until cubes dissolve. Pour mixture into container of an electric blender, and add peanut butter and pepper; process until smooth. Return the mixture to saucepan.
Combine cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup water, stirring until blended; stir into soup mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, and cook 1 minute. Stir in half and half; cook over low heat, uncovered, stirring constantly, until thoroughly heated. If desired, garnish individual servings with carrot strips and chopped peanuts. Makes 3 servings, 1 cup each.
I found this recipe here, so DO NOT BLAME ME FOR THE OUTCOME SHOULD YOU TRY THIS!
There are lots more (and weirder) Peanut Soup recipes at that site, and no you do NOT get to ask why I was looking for “peanut butter soup”. It’s personal, private and embarrassing.
So there.
(And no, it’s not about what you think. Just cos I added the category “SEX!” in order to see if some dummies searching for “Hot monkey peanut soup sex” would turn up on my stats page, it doesn’t mean “personal, private and embarrassing” refers to that. So get your minds outa the gutter, ‘K?)
It probably needs some kind of hot peppers but it is probably OK.
