Can you believe it? God's most loving food-gift to mankind was celebrated all across the world yesterday. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Surely one of life's greatest and simplest treasures.
Isn't it funny how particular we are about our pb&j's? For example, do you prefer creamy or crunchy, store-bought or organic peanut butter? And jelly. Are you grape only or do you venture out to other flavors? My personal peculiarity is the assembly of the pb&j. Crust or no crust, more peanut butter than jelly or vice versa? And don't even get me started on all the pb&j knockoffs out there.
In honor of this precious holiday, I searched for an awesome pb&j feast. In doing so I came across an article titled "55 Peanut Butter and Jelly Recipes." To my shock and awe, there was a pb&j soup. Yes!
Here is the recipe from buzzfeed.com:
2 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Onion, grated
1 Stalk Celery, diced
2 Tbsp Flour
3 cups Chicken broth (try low sodium)
1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter (try reduced fat for fewer calories)
1/4 tsp Salt
1 cup Light cream
2 Tbsp Roasted peanuts, chopped
1/2 cup Grape jelly (can use low sugar or fruit preserves instead)
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add onion and celery and sauté for 5 minutes. Add flour and mix until well blended. Slowly stir in chicken broth and allow to simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and strain broth to remove the celery and onions. Next, stir the peanut butter, salt and cream into the strained broth until mixed well. Serve hot. Garnish each serving with a teaspoon of chopped peanuts and a dollop of your favorite jelly.
Make 4 servings.

Burn butter inside a soup pot above lower temperature. Include onion along with oatmeal as well as sauté for 5 moments. Add flour and blend until nicely combined. Slowly blend inside poultry soup and permit for you to cook for approximately 30 minutes. RS 2007 Gold
