Nigerian Peanut Soup

I found this recipe at Allrecipes.com. It was submitted by Karena. There were other peanut soup recipes but I tried one that was simple and had fewer ingredients. Some put in tomatoes and sweet potatoes, for example. Check out that website and search for peanut soup. You might find one you like better. This soup had a little kick to it from the jalapeno and I put it in the blender at the end even though the recipe didn't suggest it. I liked it. It was very different from ordinary soup.

4 cups chicken broth
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
½ c. chopped green bell pepper
½ c. chopped onion
½ c. crunchy peanut butter

1. In 1-quart saucepan add broth and chili peppers and bring mixture to a boil. Stir in bell pepper and onion and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to lowest possible temperature; add peanut butter and cook, stirring constantly, until peanut butter is melted and mixture is well blended.
