Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and saute for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, or until onions are translucent. Turn the heat to low, and stir in the flow. Cook the flour over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
Whisk in the chicken stock, and bring to a boll. Simmer for 3 minutes, and then puree in a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in a blender.
Return the soup to the pan, and whisk in the peanut butter and cream. Heat over low heat until it reaches a simmer, then remove from the beet, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve. Garnish each serving with some chopped peanuts.

OK jinny71,
You got me hooked! When I told my friend that I was making Peanut Soup she thought that I was Nuts. But after having a bowl she said it was good and that she would like some more & I sent her home with the recipe that she asked for.
