Serves 4
Saute onion and celery in butter for 5 minutes (do not brown). Add flour and mix until well blended.
Add hot chicken broth and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain broth. Stir in peanut butter and seasonings. NOTE: Be sure the peanut butter does not include sweeteners. Most brandname regular peanut butters are very sweet and will not taste right.
Reheat until steaming. Serve after sprinkling each bowl with chopped peanuts.
