Found this on the internet. You know when you see things that sound so disgusting that you have to try them to prove yourself wrong? Here's one!

2 celery tops
285ml water
1 teaspoon sea salt
4 celery sticks
1 tablespoon grated onion
30g butter
2 tablespoons plain flour
3 tablespoons peanut butter
425ml milk
freshly ground black pepper
paprika

Chop the celery tops and cook them in the water with the salt for about 10 minutes. Strain, reserving the water but discarding the celery tops.

Chop the celery finely. Saute this with the onion in the butter for 2 minutes in a large saucepan.

Stir in the flour. When well blended, add the peanut butter and mix well. Stir in the milk and celery water. Stir over a low heat until the mixture boils. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Season to taste with black pepper.

When serving, sprinkle generously with paprika.

I want to drool because peanut butter is the best thing on the planet aside from bacon (and when you put the two together of course, it's bliss), but I'm iffy on how good this would be.

Please tell use that you've tried it!

Peanut butter is my favorite food, I'm curious...might have to make some next time I'm home.

You mean you don't have the forbidden hot plate stashed?

Hmmm... this makes me want to make a thread about everybody cooking recipies and maybe share everybody's recipies?

Might trying making the soup...don't know yet, not a fan of peanut butter!

No, but I do have a blender. What can I say, I live on the wild side.

You should try Sateh or Gado Gado (Indonesian).

Gado Gado is one of the dishes I like to make when I have guests, it's basically a vegetable salad with peanut sauce dressing not so different from the peanutbutter cream soup.
Alas I am not allowed to give the recipe for it's a family secret!

Sateh/satay sauce is btw quite a popular condiment in the Netherlands, goes with fries and most meats as well as cucumber... (and probably the source for the qolliquoism for the Dutch-indies repatriants... "Pinda", which means Peanut... could refer to the skin color too...)

ooh, and a peanut butter roll with cucumber and sambal is the best! try it!

I actually tried this. It was good. It tasted more like celery than anything else. I recommend it.

In my printmaking class we're working on linocuts (you have a slab of linoleum and you ink and carve it till you get the finished image) and one of our examples from the class before us is called "Peanut Butter Asphyxiation." That is the image I see when I think of Peanut butter soup. I'll ask the woman who made it if I can take a picture and post it so you guys can see what I'm talking about.

i really really want to make this.
how many servings does it make?

Based on the liquid content this yields about 3 cups (1 cup = 8oz US).

i hate to sound like an idiot (but i'm so good at it, so...) is that a logical amount for one person to consume?

That would be considered 3 servings. Of course you could eat more if you desired.

Is it sweet or savoury? (Hello everyone)

I think it's savoury. It sounds good anyway...i <3 peanut butter!! (Hello Rhyme Intrinseca)
