Peanut Butter Soup

When I saw this soup in a cookbook I couldn't resist posting it. I dedicate this recipe to the freeberg family men :)

1 Tbsp minced scallion
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp curry powder
Pinch grated nutmeg
2 cups hot milk
2 cups light cream
1 cup creamy style peanut butter
Whole peanuts, optional

In a saucepan over medium heat, saute the scallion in the butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Lower heat, stir in the flour, salt curry and nutmeg. Beating constantly, add the hot milk, and cook, stirring, until bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cream, raise heat a little, and bring to a boil. Add peanut butter and continue to stir until blended. Serve and garnish with peanuts.

Dawn, if you're reading this, this recipe says its an African invention kids love. Maybe Rueben and Malia are familiar with it?

If anyone is brave enough to give this recipe a try let me know how it turns out.
