Welcome! I'm so excited to be part of this week's Progressive Dinner Party; I'm picking up new recipes as quickly as I usually get new book ideas! Now that you've enjoyed your appetizers, please pull up a chair and we'll begin with the soup and salad course.
At my table, I'll be serving Southern Peanut Soup. My brother-in-law, who's quite a good cook, particularly of soups, first introduced me to this soup many years ago. Then he had the audacity to never make it again. But I still love him anyway; well, I do now that I know how to make the soup.
Southern Peanut Soup

I love Southern peanut soup (and so did George Washington, by the way!). Whenever we are in Virginia we get some!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious! I adore peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting. I think I would love it, not sure about my husband, but you never know until you try :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a peanut butter junkie - I bet he'd love it!
ReplyDeleteI never even knew there was such a thing as peanut soup. It sounds kinda good, though!
