Peanuts may have made their way to North America in the slave ships either brought by the Africans themselves or by the Europeans who used the legume as a cheap, nutritious food. Plantation owners began growing peanuts to feed the slaves, and the legume went on to be widely cultivated throughout the South. Africans certainly popularized the peanut in colonial America. For example the Americanism "goober" for peanuts, likely came from the Congo word for peanut, nguba. The preparation for peanut soup anchors many colonial recipe collections. Our delicious Peanut Soup Mix has a wonderful flavor from the right blend of peanuts, chicken broth and our special spices.
Usually served as an appetizer.
