Time 1h50m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 medium onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups unsalted roasted peanuts
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Diced Granny Smith apple and red-pepper flakes, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add carrot and onion; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft but have not taken on any color, about 5 minutes. Add peanuts, broth, and 3 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until peanuts are tender, about 1 hour, 20 minutes.
  • Working in batches (do not fill jar more than halfway), puree soup in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. (Or use an immersion blender.) Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids to remove as much liquid as possible. Return to pot and reheat over low, if necessary.
  • Stir lemon juice into soup. Season with salt and pepper and serve, topped with apple, red-pepper flakes, and a drizzle of oil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, and creamy peanut butter will make all the difference in the taste of your soup.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: A little bit of cumin, curry powder, or cayenne pepper can add a lot of flavor to the soup.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Chopped peanuts, crumbled bacon, or a dollop of sour cream are all great options.
  • Make a big batch of soup and freeze it for later: This soup freezes well, so you can easily have a delicious meal on hand whenever you need it.

Conclusion:

Southern peanut soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its creamy texture, nutty flavor, and satisfying warmth, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try.
