As one reviewer states, "I was a little leery about trying out soup that had peanut butter in it, but with all the rave reviews, I decided, why not? I just got done with dinner and the soup was absolutely delicious! I didn't tell my boyfriend about the peanut butter until after he started eating. He couldn't believe it had peanut butter in it!

What You Need:

• 8 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups diced, cooked chicken meat
• 1 cup peeled and cubed potatoes
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup diced zucchini
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup canned whole tomatoes, chopped
• ½ cup chopped celery
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• Salt to taste
• Ground Black Pepper to taste

What You'll Need To Do:

1. Take a large stock pot and combine the chicken broth, chicken, potatoes and carrots. Bring the combined ingredients to a boil and then reduce to a slow simmer. Cook together for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

2. Add the zucchini, broccoli, tomatoes, celery, onion, green pepper, and garlic to the soup. Allow to simmer for about 8-10 minutes.

3. Next add the peanut butter and parsley. Taste and add salt and pepper accordingly (to your taste level). *I personally prefer my soup spicy so I will add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper at this point.* Stir until peanut butter is fully blended. Simmer for about 3 minutes longer. Pair with a nice chardonnay.
