Peanut Butter Soup

So I just made this for the first time and it turned out pretty good :) but I forgot to take a picture :O/

This is not my picture I found it at allrecipes 
  • 8 C Chicken Broth
  • 2 C Cooked Cubed Chicken Meat
  • 1 C Cubed Potatoes
  • 1 C Diced Carrots
  • 1 C Broccoli Florets
  • 1 C Tomatoes Diced
  • 1 C Onion
  • 1/2-3/4 C Bell Pepper (I used Red)
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 1/2-3/4 C Peanut Butter
  • Fresh Cilantro (optional)
  • Fresh Mint (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
Recipe Said 1/2 C Celery but I didn't have any so didn't use any. Also Vegetable measurements are what the recipe said but I used a little more of most of them but what ever you like.

  • Directions
  1. In a large stock pot, combine the broth, chicken, potatoes, and carrots. Bring the soup to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 10 minutes, till vegetables are tender. ( I didn't have cooked chicken so I boiled it in the chicken broth while I cut up the Vegetables)
  2. Add broccoli, tomatoes, celery, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Simmer for about 8 minutes.
  3. Add peanut butter, herbs, salt, and pepper; stir until peanut butter is fully blended. Simmer for 3 minutes longer.

Some thoughts we had that might make it better was, use something to make it a little thinker maybe some cream or half n half or flour. also the Asian hot sauce with the rooster on the front goes really good with this soup

Nam Thok - Waterfall

Picture is not mine but looks similar to how yours should.
I got it from tickythaiandtucker
All Ingredients are approximate


  • London Broil Round Steak or some type of thick steak
  • salt
  • 2t Fish Sauce
  • 1/3 C fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 C shallots cut to strips
  • 2 T green onion
  • 1 T mint
  • 2 T cilantro
  • 2 T “Cow Coo Uh” - Phonetic spelling .Ground up uncooked sticky rice.
  • Water to maintain sauce
  • sugar & Salt to  Taste
  • ground chili powder from Asian Market
  • BEST SERVED WITH  THAI STICKY RICE (link)


    Pat down the steak with a good crust of salt. The steak should be moderately thick and able to handle a lot of salt. BBQ it to medium rare, then cut into thin strips. (Again, think stir fry).

    In a pot start with lime juice, fish sauce, water and salt. Add meat to finish cooking (from medium rare to medium well/well) add other ingredients making a soupy stir fry. Serve over sticky rice. By the way, be careful with the chili powder as it will add heat!
