Okay, let's get this party started! Here are the ridiculously simple steps to make a scrumptious groundnut soup:
1. Blend those Groundnuts like your life depends on it. Seriously, blend the roasted groundnuts until they're smooth and creamy. Add a teensy bit of warm water while blending to form a thick paste that's just right.
2. Get your Protein on. Season the chicken, turkey, or fish with onion, garlic, ginger, paprika, seasoning cube, and a pinch of salt. Boil until tender and don't forget to keep the stock, we're gonna need it!
3. Make the Soup Base. In a pot, add the blended tomatoes, peppers, and tomato paste. Cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly reduced. Like, don't burn it, okay?
4. Add Groundnut Paste. Stir in the groundnut paste gradually. Add the meat stock and extra water little by little while stirring to avoid lumps. We don't want no lumpy soup!
5. Simmer down. Add the cooked protein and crayfish if you're feeling fancy. Let the soup simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until rich and creamy. Stir occasionally so it doesn't stick and make you cry.
6. Add some Greens. Throw in spinach, ugu, or scent leaves during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
7. Taste and Serve. Adjust salt and seasoning, then serve hot with your favorite side.
Healthy Tips:
Use roasted groundnuts without added salt or oil, because we're trying to be healthy here!
Remove visible fat from meat before cooking, no one likes a fatty soup.
Add plenty of veggies for extra nutrients and fiber.
Oh, and don't go crazy with the palm oil, groundnuts already release natural oils, okay?
