The peanut butter adds something wonderful, without really tasting like itself. The BEST soup I have ever tasted.

In a large stock pot, combine the broth, chicken, potatoes, and carrots. Bring the soup to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 10 minutes, till vegetables are tender.
