📝 Instructions:
- Melt Butter: In a heavy, large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter until it’s just bubbling.
- Vegetable Trio: Add the finely chopped carrots, celery, and onions to the melted butter. Cook the vegetables until they’re tender, stirring frequently. This usually takes about 15 minutes.
- Flour Power: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetable mixture and stir continuously for 4 minutes, ensuring a smooth blend.
- Stock Addition: Pour in the chicken bouillon (or the combination of chicken and salt-free vegetable bouillon). Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally for an even distribution.
- Simmer Time: Cover the saucepan partially, reduce the heat, and let the soup simmer for a cozy 25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Cool and Puree: Allow the soup to cool slightly, then puree it in batches using a blender or food processor. Return the puree to the saucepan.
- Peanut Twist: Place the creamy peanut butter in a small bowl. Gradually mix in 1 cup of the puree, creating a luscious peanut mixture. Return this blend to the saucepan.
- Creamy Finale: Blend in the half-n-half (or your chosen substitute) and salt. Heat the soup through but avoid boiling to preserve its creamy consistency.
- Serve Warm: Ladle this delightful creation into heated bowls and serve immediately, letting the comforting aroma and rich flavors take center stage.
