Method

In a large sauce pan saute onion, garlic and celery in butter over medium to 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, soy sauce, and continue simmering for 10 minutes. Stir in cream and heat through without boiling.

 

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. This is what evolved, and I make it often.
