In the US, peanut soup is a southern delicacy. The peanut butter lends a mild flavor and a creamy texture to the soup.
1 quart chicken stock or broth
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup whipping cream or half-and-half
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts
salt and pepper, to taste
Tabasco sauce, to taste
Combine the stock, carrots, and onion in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the stock to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes or until the carrots are soft.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food process. Puree until smooth then return the soup to the saucepan. Add the peanut butter, whipping cream, and peanuts. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add salt, pepper, and Tabasco, as desired. Serve hot.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
