Ever Heard Of Peanut Soup?

[Meanderer]

I have read that George Washington liked his peanut soup, and it was a favorite at Mt Vernon. Has anyone ever tried it?

I haven't ever tried it but I suppose since peanuts are legumes they could be made into something similar to bean soup. Most outside of the South are only familiar with the roasted/salted peanut but I became familiar with raw peanuts while stationed in Norfolk, called the goobers as I remember and we boiled them in salt water.

I cannot tell a lie..I am not a fan of peanut butter, even as a boy, It was not a favorite. My interest is historical, as George W. liked it...or maybe it was Jimmy Carter?
