kalee posted that "Peanut Soup is our family’s traditional first course on Thanksgiving.
We pass a little pitcher of bourbon at the table so the adults may add some to their soup.
We also serve unsweetened whipped cream and chopped peanuts for garnish. "
I just adore all the Southern recipes and traditions.
Adding the bourbon, unsweetened whipped cream and chopped peanuts is sensational.
I was thinking about Thanksgiving yesterday. Peanut soup as a starter is non-negotiable for my family. I can vary sides and desserts, even the turkey, but peanut soup has to be the first course. :)
Bourbon and the whipped cream/chopped peanut garnish move the soup from great to spectacular in my opinion.
Recently we had boiled peanut Hummus with a drizzle of pepper jelly as an appetizer at a restaurant. It was delicious! I am hoping to recreate it for New Year’s Eve.
