Steps:
- Melt butter in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and sauté until soft, but not brown (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in flour until well blended, about 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer broth uncovered for about 10 minutes (to allow the broth to thicken slightly). Remove from heat and puree with a hand-held stick blender, in a food processor, or in batches in a regular blender.
- Add peanut butter and cream, stirring to combine. Heat over low heat, just until warmed through and peanut butter is melted (do not boil). Ladle into individual bowls and garnish with chopped peanuts, parsley and/or sliced green onion.

KING'S ARMS TAVERN-LIKE CREAMED ONIONS
This is similar to the recipe for creamed onions served at the King's Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. The Tavern version (from a 1970s cookbook of Old Williamsburg recipes) includes extra salt which I omit. The salted peanuts make it salty enough for my tastes, even before the doctor put me on a low-salt diet. However, I always have a salt shaker on the table so people who like it saltier can add it themselves.

COLONIAL GAME PIE (KING'S ARMS TAVERN)
Here's one for the Wild Thang group, for those of you who like cooking wild game. This came from the Colonial Williamsburg Cookbook, published 1975. A collection of recipes served in the taverns and inns of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Like all older cooking methods, this one takes some time. The photo is just to show you...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Salt the cavity of the duck and place it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Bake for 30 minutes at 400, reduce the heat to 325, and bake until the duck tests done.
- 2. Simmer the rabbit in a small amount of water for 60 minutes or until tender.
- 3. Cut the venison into large cubes and saute in the vegetable oil in a large skillet until well browned, stirring and turning as necessary. Remove the venison and drain the oil from the skillet.
- 4. Add the port wine to the skillet and boil for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any brown particles. Return the venison to the skillet and add the Brown Sauce. Simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the venison is tender.
- 5. Cut the duck and rabbit meat in medium-sized pieces, and place in the skillet with the venison to keep warm. Season with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, pepper, and currant jelly.
- 6. Saute the mushrooms in the butter until lightly browned. Fry the bacon until crisp, and drain. Heat the onions and drain.
- 7. Divide the game mixture into individual greased casserole dishes and garnish the top of each with mushrooms, bacon, and onions. Cover each dish with the pastry crust, trim the edges, and prick the tops to allow the steam to escape.
- 8. Beat the egg lightly with the milk to make an egg wash and brush the tops of the pastry with the mixture. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Serve piping hot.

KING'S ARMS TAVERN CREAM OF PEANUT SOUP
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.
