1 packet dry onion soup mix
2 ribs celery, chopped or 4 teaspoons parsley flakes
2 tablespoons butter
1 quart chicken stock
1/2 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk

Mix first 4 ingredients and heat to boiling, then add flour which has been mixed with cooled stock to the mixture. Pour this all through a strainer and then add peanut butter and milk. Cook at low heat—do not boil—until warmed and blended. Serve garnished with crushed peanuts.

Note: I usually use lowfat milk and some powdered milk to thicken to my own liking. Regular milk will do fine or cream for a very full-bodied soup.
