Would have given this a 4.5 if there were half stars! I was nervous about the peanut butter also but went for it. I'm so glad I did - it was surprisingly subtle and gave the broth a full flavor. I poached the chicken using onion and garlic, used all chicken stock for broth and veggies I had on hand. Next time I will increase the amount of chicken to make it even more packed with protein and add some red pepper to give it some heat.

I found this recipe years ago in Jane Brody's Good Food Cookbook. It is excellent and I have found the peanut butter can be decreased and any veggies you enjoy added.

I thought this was very good, and it definitely sounded different. I did leave out the broccoli (try as I might, I just don't like it). However, great way to get your veggies- this soup is packed with them! I always bake my chicken breast wrapped in foil and sprinkled with salt, pepper, and sometimes a little poultry seasoning for about 35-40 mins on 350. Then I cool and chop- I've found that I can do this at the beginning of the week and use it for everything that calls for cooked chopped chicken. Anyway, thanks for sharing! We enjoyed this!

Everyone but me thought this was ok. I really liked it. Not sure if I will make it again only because I was the only one who did like it.

Delicious! Like others have mentioned, any combination of veggies works in this soup. I left out the zucchini and broccoli and it tastes great.

This recipe is a keeper! Like most folks, I was a little apprehensive about the final addition of peanut butter to the soup, but it turned out to be delicious. PB adds richness and depth to the broth. Better the next day, and I ended up adding a little extra low sodium chicken broth and a few more veggies... a potato, carrot and a little broccoli, and of course lots of freshly ground pepper. Thanks for the recipe!

I printed this recipe a few days ago but decided not to make it. Today I made my own homemade chicken soup with potatos and carrots from the garden. But then I tasted it and it seemed so boring. I just had a feeling my kids would not eat it. I figured I would add the peanut butter and see what happens. I was nervous. But it turned out great. Not only do my kids love it, but my picky neighbor kid is here and is actually eating it too. I can't wait to tell his mom. And as an added bonus, because the veggies were from the garden and I started with a whole chicken from teh store, the entire meal cost less than $5, and I have some leftover. You can't beat that.

I just finised making this for lunch and decided to review as soon as the kitchen was clean. This soup is wonderful. Period. I decided to not add chicken (having it for dinner tonight) and just increased with veggies I had, which was everything the recipe called for. I did cook a little longer, and didn't have parsley, so I added cilantro. Also, since "Fil" (father in law) likes my stir fry, I mimicked it and added 1/2 tsp of Chinese Five Spice - a must in my stir fry. Served on a bed of soba noodles (wheat and buckwheat blend). Fil ate it all up, so I plan on freezing the remainder in individual portions so he can make soup for lunch during the week when we are at work. Thanks Annie for the great idea. **Update** Hubby just got home from work and hadn't eaten anything for lunch. It was too early for dinner, so I told him to have some homemade soup. I didn't tell him what it was, but with the addition of the Chinese Five Spice, he named it "Stir Fry Soup!". He loved it.

After reading several reviews, I was comfortable just using whatever frozen veggies I had: stir fry peppers and onions, brocolli and carrots. Like others I seasoned and sauteed my chicken with the stirfry veggies ahead of time and I didn't have any canned tomatoes so I left that out. The only other modification I did was adding coconut milk at the end and red peppers which really gave it a nice kick. Next time i'll replace the brocolli with mushrooms since it resembles tai coconut soup a little....wondering if I should have used a bit more peanut butter for a slightly sweeter taste. I trimmed it back as others suggested....

Like the previous reviewer, this was opportunity for me to use bits and pieces of produce in a unique soup. I like it! I scaled the recipe down to 2 svgs and was able to create the recipe with the exception of brocolli cuz I didn't have any, but found some pieces of spinach leaves in the bag o' salad and they did just fine. My zuchini was on its VERY last leg, but I was able to salvage about a 2-inch piece, perfect. Had one small, old tomato...used that up too. My chicken and broth was from the lemon and herb roasted chicken (this site) that I made yesterday. I had boiled the carcass while I was working on other things in the kitchen, picked it clean, added a teaspoon of bouillon. I feel like a created a free meal with using so many little tidbits. Many people would have thrown away the produce scraps, but just trim off any icky parts, freeze little bits, set aside a tablespoon or two of onions next time you chop 'em, and you can put togther something like this in a snap. Granted, it's only 2 servings but they are full bodied, nutritious, and very tasty. It would easily make 4 appetizer servings, or 2 dinner servings like I did for me. Give it a try! Definitely worth it.

This was a nice and easy recipe, allowing me to use up leftover chicken and produce that was in the fridge. I stuck to the recipe for the most part, but as I'm trying to steer clear of carbs; I opted for double the amount of zucchini in place of the potatoes, added a cup of sliced mushrooms, used two fresh tomatoes in place of canned, and used a can of Hatch green chile in place of the jalepeno. All in all, I was pleased with this soup!

THE best recipe I've tried in a long time! I'm telling you, it was great! I only had crunchy peanut butter and it was great with it (not sure if the peanuts will be soggy in tomorrow's leftovers) but I'm sure it'll still taste great. I added quartered mushrooms which soaked in the flavor.

This soup is fantastic! I grew up eating vegetable soup and we always dipped peanut butter sandwiches in the soup. When I saw this recipe I thought, of course! Peanut butter in the soup. I did add extra veggies, but other than that, I made the recipe as written and it is well worth 5 stars - even better than my Mom's vegetable soup.

I made this recipe by following the instructions exactly and my family hated it. It tastes awful and although I love peanut butter, I would never make this again. The soup was just fine before adding the peanut butter. Do yourself a favor and skip this recipe.

Delicious! Instead of adding to the soup later in the process, we started by browning our chicken and then sauteing the celery, garlic, onion and bell pepper over the brown bits. We also added 1 cup of coconut milk at the end.

Made my own broth, starting with a little sauted garlic, onion and celery as others have done, and used Better than Bouillon chicken base. I cooked a split skinless bone-in fryer breast (two fairly big pieces) in the broth for 45 minutes, then took the chicken out and cooled it in the fridge before pulling it off the bone and popping it back in. Instead of just salt and pepper I also added a pinch of turmeric and a couple of tablespoons of a pre-made chicken spice blend, which had equal parts rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, celery seed, and black pepper. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly. This soup was SO GOOD with corn muffins! Will definitely make again and again.
