Cooking instructions for this savory soup are listed below
First, melt the butter in a large heavy sauce pan over medium heat and begin to whisk in the flour. Continue whisking in the flour for about 4 or 5 minutes. Next you stir in the onion and celery and make sure to lower the heat just a little. Let it cook until the onions are soft while making sure not to brown the flour.
Next, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter! Once the peanut butter is stirred in, gradually stir in the chicken stock, salt, pepper, and cayenne. At this point return to medium heat and bring the soup to a boil while stirring. Then let the soup simmer for 20 minutes.
Lastly, strain the peanut mixture and add the cream, stirring thoroughly. Bring the soup briefly to a simmer, then serve sprinkled with peanuts and paprika.
Enjoy!!!
