• 2 cloves finely minced garlic
• 1/2 cup finely minced celery
• 1 Tablespoon flour
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 3 14.5 oz cans chicken broth
• 2 cups diced, cooked chicken
• 1 teaspoon Asian hot pepper sauce (sriracha)
• 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 cups whipping cream
• Salt to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon

Method

In a large saucepan saute onion, garlic and celery in butter over medium/high heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat add flour and peanut butter, stirring until melted. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, return to medium heat and bring to a boil for two minutes. Reduce heat and stir in chicken, hot pepper sauce and soy sauce; continue simmering for 10 minutes. Stir in cream and heat through without boiling. Makes 8-10 servings.

Notes: This soup is a combination of my favorite flavors from Thai, Chinese and African dishes I've tried in various restaurants. I wanted to capture the hot, savory flavors of these styles of cooking in an easy weeknight dish.

Number of servings: 6
