I like to double the recipe and start with a half a stalk of celery (leaves included), 6 carrots and an onion all chopped finely. I sautee these in the butter until soft and then boil in the chicken broth. Afterwards I puree it and then proceed with the rest of the recipe. I cook in chopped cashews instead of peanuts as well as chopped Cajun trail mix and Cajun seasoning. At the end, I also garnish with the chopped trail mix. An excellent recipe; thank you for sharing!

I made this a few weeks ago, I am rating it on the first taste, I thought It was pretty good, but no one in the family could finish a bowl. To rich for us. (well hubby ate the whole bowl, but he will eat burnt cookies) maybe we used a to sweetend peanut butter (Jiff) Thanks for the recipe though, Just not for us. Although this may make a better type appetizer.

This soup is a tad bland but after adding 1 teas. curry powder that did the trick. I would suggest you add curry 1/4 teas at a time until you get it to your liking. Also I used 1 cup evaporated milk instead of whipping cream didn't have any. Next time I will saute 1/2 cup celery with the onion. Also, I was thinking I'd use some cooked chicken chunks tossed in for variation. This is a very rich soup. I ate one bowl and my husband polished off the rest for dinner and his lunch.

tasty, kind of like other creamy soups i've had. Would use vegatable stock instead of chicken stock, and no additional salt.

I thought this was awesome! I used half & half because that is what I had and adams natural peanut butter. It was not too sweet. It would have been good by itself but I added a shot of tabasco with the salt and pepper,a stalk of celery, and shredded a baby carrot.

Wonderful recipe. I like a dash of curry and some chopped celery in mine.

More accurate rating would have been 4.5; wonderful but not perfect...yet. :) If you like peanut & are ready for something a little different, give this soup a try! The flavor is rich and you can taste all the ingredients...the garlic & onion are suprisingly good compliments to the peanut butter! I changed the following for nutrition or convenience reasons (and liked the results): *1 c fat free half & half instead of heavy cream *1 1/2 c chunky peanut butter instead of 1c pb & 1/2 c crushed peanuts Next time I may use the whole 18oz jar of chunky pb; a small increase that may help thicken the soup just a bit. PB used: JIF naturals chunky - worked well!

So happy I found this recipe! I had surgery a week ago on my throat and have been living on chicken broth and tomato soup and this was a welcome change! I normally like my peanut soup spicier but in this instance this was perfect, very flavourful and just a great change. Once I'm feeling better, I will probably try it again with some hot sauce to give it a little extra something. Thanks!

***** If I could I would rate this a perfect 10! I was looking for something different, but simple to serve to guests as an appetizer. I served this in individual souffle dishes and it was a big hit. The only change I made was to use half and half instead of heavy cream. Thanks for a great recipe!
