King's Arms Tavern Cream of Peanut Soup image

This recipe is our favorite from The Williamsburg Cookbook. We had to buy the cookbook after having this at the King's Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. It is quite tasty served hot with toasted breadsticks (see recipe titled "Colonial Soup-Servers") This soup can be served hot or cold. It is even good re-heated.

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.
