Chicken Peanut Soup

My family thought this sounded interesting. From Rachael Ray's magazine, April 2007, but with a few changes. It sounds weird, but it's really good. Our store was out of fresh chiles, though, so we used half a can of diced green chile peppers. I will use more next time (if I have to use canned again).

• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 4  cups chicken broth
