Creamy, Savory Peanut Butter Soup

I love soup. Nothing beats a bowl of warm goodness on a cool day. I also love creating soups.

As much as I adore baking, there are so many musts – things you must know and rules you must follow. Ignorance of those “musts” will very often result in a flop. Soup, though, can be a total freestyle event. A little of this and a little of that to taste as you go. Add, omit & substitute as you like. I find it impossible to create a failed soup.

This Peanut Butter Soup Recipe I’m sharing today was inspired by a woman I’ve never met. It was found in her collection of recipes, hand written and cut outs. It was one of many glorious flea market finds. She credits her hand written recipe to The Hotel Roanoke in Virginia.

Peanut Soup is an old recipe you’ll find in every culture. Today it’s most known in African cuisines. The first time I tasted Peanut Soup I was in a small Philly restaurant specializing in West African cuisine. I tried a vegan curry peanut soup with sweet potatoes and was beyond blown away by the flavors!

Ingredients & Instructions

This recipe starts off with sauteing celery & onion and making a roux. Making a roux is not at all complicated. The best advice I have is to stay with the pan, stir constantly & DO NOT walk away. It’s the most hands on part of the recipe.

This recipe can easily be adapted for a vegan and will be just as good. Substitute a vegetable stock and create a roux with oil instead of the butter.

This soup comes together quickly – about 45 minutes and you’re done. It’s smooth, rich, creamy and brings an almost sophisticated side out of peanut butter.

I served this as dinner with a salad. Friends insisted it would be an amazing first course or side to a chicken teriyaki.

Hope you enjoy this Peanut Butter Soup recipe! Thanks for stopping by!
