Groundnut Soup (Peanut Soup)
Rich, velvety soup of ground peanuts with chicken, tomatoes, and chiles, served with fufu.
Why It Works
Peanut butter's combination of fat and protein creates a naturally thick, creamy soup base; simmering it down concentrates the nutty flavor and develops Maillard complexity.
