Tomato Peanut Butter Soup image

I have ben working on a pamphlet of low cost recipes for our church pantry to give away. When I found this depression era recipe I was curious and so I tried it out. Its very interesting. It does not taste of peanut butter but it has a rich flavor. Kids like it and its inexpensive. It is also higher in protein than simple tomato...

salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
pinch of dried red pepper flakes, optional
