Peanuts appear in just about every regional form of American cooking. Still, it is fair to say that the peanut's place in the food of the South is especially prominent. Southern cooks have, for many years, shown a fine respect for the many ways one may use a peanut to make good foods, both sweet and savory. This soup is one of them. It contains many agreeable flavors, but the peanut is the source of its special character.
