Chunky Peanut Soup



Ingredients

2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp fresh parsley (minced)
1 med onion, peeled and diced
1 large zucchini, trimmed and diced
2 med carrots, peeled and diced
1 cup button mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps diced
8 cups chicken stock
1 cup unsalted crunchy peanut butter
1 lb firm white fish such as halibut or snapper, bones removed, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 small tomato, quartered
4 small potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 small green pepper, roasted, cored, seeded, peeled, and diced 1 cup fresh peas
3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
salt, cayenne pepper


1. Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium heat.  When it is hot, add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring constantly, until the onion begins to turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix 1 cup of the stock with the peanut butter in a medium-sized bowl until smooth.
3. Add the remaining 7 cups chicken stock to the vegetables. Stir, and add the tomato, potatoes, roasted pepper, and 2 tspn of the parsley. Pour in the peanut butter mixture, and stir.  Cover and bring almost to a boil.  Simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.  Then add the zucchini and the mushrooms, stir, and continue cooking until the zucchini is tender but still has texture, about 10 minutes. Stir in the fish and the peas, and cook until the fish is opaque and the peas are still bright green, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the lemon juice, stir, and season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.
4.  Ladle the peanut soup into warmed soup bowls, garnish with the remaining tbsp of parsley, and serve immediately.

Lemon, Lime and Orange Olive Oil Sampler, Set of 3 (8.75-oz.)
Add a dash of sublime fruit flavor to fish, pasta, vegetables and salads with this trio of olive oils. Unlike infused olive oils in which the citrus is added later, these handmade delicacies are created by crushing the fruit along with hand-picked California Mission olives. The results "taste like the essence of the fruit, much like a sorbet does," said The New York Times. The three flavors include Blood Orange, Meyer Lemon and Tahitian Lime.
