Directions
-
Melt the unsalted butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
-
Add the diced onion and carrots to the melted butter, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly translucent.
-
Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes to allow the vegetables to become tender and the flavors to meld.
-
Stir in the unsalted crunchy peanuts and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to warm them through without losing their crunch.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, then serve hot.
