- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 onion, very finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, very finely chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 1 (18 ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, or to taste
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in hot butter until soft, about 8 minutes. Stir flour into butter to incorporate. Gradually whisk chicken stock into flour mixture. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
