Cook the Book: Peanut Soup

Posted by Adam Kuban, September 14, 2007

The last of the week's Cook the Book recipes is for Peanut Soup. It's a soup that John T. Edge reminds us in Southern Belly, was "au courant in the mid-1970s, when a farmer from Plains, Georgia, took the oath of office." It's also a soup that has fallen out of favor, with a few holdouts still serving it, such as the Hotel Roanoke, in Roanoke, Virginia, from which this recipe is adapted.

If you'd like to read more about other Southern delights, grab a copy of Southern Belly for yourself.
