Peanut Butter and Vegetable Soup image

When I first saw a recipe for Peanut Butter Soup I wasn't sure how it would be but I decided to give it a try since I love peanut butter. What a pleasant surprise! This version is adapted from Jane Brody's "Good Food Book" modified to be more in keeping with a Nutritarian eating style.....For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional).

1 large onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 cup mushroom, sliced (3-4 mushrooms, sliced)
2 carrots, diced
1 (15 ounce) can reduced-sodium navy beans, drained and rinsed (or other low-sodium white beans)
2 (15 ounce) cans low sodium vegetable broth (or other low-sodium broth)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a large pot (3 qt or more).
  • Bring soup to a boil, stirring several times so bottom doesn't burn.

  • Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in batches in a blender or food processor. Do not over blend.
