“Ground-Nut” does not mean that the peanuts are “ground”, it’s simply another name for peanuts since they grow under the surface of the ground.
Interesting: I'm certain the sweet potato, collard greens is very Sierra Leone. I love your channel.
West African peanut soup is very regional and unique.
For Ghana and Nigeria, peanut soup is entirely different from this and it's eaten with fermented corn patès. For Ghana fresh roasted peanuts butter is fried in a saucepan, to allow peanut oil to appear then onions, tomatoes and meat/fish, spices are added. Some ethnicities in Ghana, dump the peanut butter with all the ingredients from the onset till it boils to oil surfaces then veggies like garden eggs okra are added, with some very indigenous rare spices.
I personally love how Sierra Leone and Liberia cook their dishes that's similar to Ghanaian ones.
Thank you so much! There certainly is many ways to cook this depending on which country in Africa you're from.
I don't want to be a buzz kill or come off as authority. Recipes are geared towards ones on taste. This is not an authentic west African peanut soup. It's more associated with something as you stated your mom made for you. I do not see Nigerian or Ghanaian preparing it in this manner. For the same reason some people use raisins in certain cold salads which is a no no in Africa culture. If jasmine rice is used it's cooked from what I saw into a soft consistency to shape into a ball.
@@Angel_Hearted50 this isn’t a Ghanaian or Nigerian recipe though. It’s Sierra Leonean and looking at some recipes it looks like that plus they would also have made it a bit palatable to their Lebanese taste, plus people it with plain rice all the time in Ghana.
And from Kenya we eat peanut soup with sweet potatoes and its cooked with fermented or butter milk with ni onions or any other spices
My Lebanese friend whose mom grew up in Sierra Leon used to make this all the time!! I absolutely LOVED it!!
That must be so nostalgic!
This looks amazing, I used chickpeas in place of chicken because my family is vegetarian, and it turned out so delicious! I love the peanut butter flavor so much!!!
I love that! Yay!!
That's a great idea. I think I'll try broccoli for mine.
Love having new recipe ideas with every day ingredients! It makes traveling the globe through food so easy. Thanks for sharing 😊
So true! Hope you try this one and enjoy it!!
I'm vegan chef and was looking for a granat soup recipe to vaganize it for a vegan soup event that I make annualy. In my place (Curitiba/Brazil) is very difficult to find vegan soups regularly, so this event is very nice. I'm so glad because I found in your blog that this is one of your memory of Africa, because this is really a piece of your country in the world (once in youtube, is in the world, right?). How could I be happier? An original recipe! Thank you so much.
I had a vegan version of this at a restaurant in Los Angeles called Native foods and its was OUT of this WORLD delicious.
I made this recipe and it tasted sooo good !! Thank you so much for the recipe.
My mother made a dish called Groundnut stew from her years in Nigeria and the Cameroons. I always add a hard boiled quail egg for each serving as well as chicken, shrimps, and okra. We serve it on rice with fresh fruit side dishes, Lea and Perrins, peanuts, and mango chutney. I have never served it anyone who didn’t like it. Great for a large crowd.
Sounds like such a delicious meal!
I tried this almost 2 years ago when I found it on your website and it was amazing!!!
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear!!
I can’t wait to try this recipe! And explore your channel. Everything looks so yum!
Yay!! Hope you enjoy!
Loving all your soup recipes! They all look so good, I cannot decide which I want first!
Omg thank you for sharing this. It looks so good I just decided to make it for dinner tonight ☺️
Most welcome! I hope you enjoy!!
This looks delicious! I’m from Ghana and we make it different more like soup and we mold the rice into balls, it can also be served with fufu or other type of Cooked dough. I just need to correct you on the groundnuts part, peanuts are called groundnuts because they grow in the ground not because they are ground. I’m going to make this for sure. Thanks for sharing😊
Thank you! That sounds delicious! So many wonderful versions of the recipe. Hope you enjoy this one!
This looks so so good!!! 🙈🤤 I will try it out this week. Thanks 🤩 for sharing 🥰
Yay! Thank you! Let me know what you think once you do!!
Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Just made this and it was awesome. My family loved it. We only had regular peanut butt with sugar in it, so it was a bit sweet, but I offset that with extra red pepper and black pepper. Excellent recipe. Thank you!
I had this soup today from our work Cafe. It was so delicious
I love that! It's such an underrated soup!
HI!! I'm from Ghana and we love peanut soup! I was really surprised when I stumbled on your video. But I loved it!! Will definitely try your version of this recipe soon.
Hi!! I'm so glad to hear it! Let me know what you think once you do!
Super good! Made this the other night with mashed squash and smoked duck breast. Turned out great. My roommate thought it was reminiscent of the Thai peanut sauce too!
Thank you! Sounds so good. Yay!!
Thank You! Been looking for this.. So much like Senegalese Soup!
You're so welcome! Hope you enjoy!
They call it mafe in Senegal. Peanut soup is cooked all over Africa, but different recipes.
Looks delicious!
Thank you so much!
Love it your mom did it her way yummy yummy I will definitely try it 👍❤🇬🇭
Thank you! Hope you enjoy!!
What a great recipe
Thank you so much!
Love that you are proud Sierra Leonean.

Thank you! There are so many different variations to it!
Wow, you are an amazing soul. I love the way you describe. This is my sixth video in a row of yours and can’t stopped myself to comment.

Thank you
You're so welcome!
Senegalese/ Gambia food is so delicious
Just came across this,Very creative and good job to you,but different from the everyday Ghanaian/Nigerian dish…you did very well though😍
One of my favorite Senegalese dish called Domedah / Maafee.
Great video
Thank you so much!
Is this the same as domoda? I had that in The Gambia it was delicious 😋
Yum! Exact measurements for the ingredients please? I have to make this! 🍨🍧
Can i substitute sweet potatoes with butternut squash? Thank you for the video x
Instead of sweet potatoes, you can use yams or white potatoes!
This looks amazing. I have never tried this, so I'll give it a go. Do you like turkish delight? I have a very authentic recipe which tastes as good a store bought lokum if you're interested? The recipe uses cornstarch, sugar and citric acid along with water. It's cooked over a high heat and stirred until golden. Flavouring and nuts are added depending on the desired flavour. The mixture is then poured into pans coated in starch to prevent sticking.once cooler it is cut into cubes and coated in icing sugar or nuts.
Just the fact that you a white and you were born n raised in Africa I love you already
Do you think tofu would make a good substitution for the chicken - asking for a vegetarian friend. :)
Yes! Feel free to add tofu or skip the chicken part all together.
Thanks for sharing. Could I know from which country this recipe is? You said from west africa/ africa, but which country exactly?
Even though we make groundnutsoup different in Ghana, I tried this recipe yesterday and added my own twist to it & was absolutely delicious. What country in Africa did you grew up in?
I'm glad you enjoyed this version of it! I was born in Sierra Leone!
any recipe you would recommend
@@rahmahdalhat8484
I let the chickenthighs marinate for 2 days in fresh red onions, garlic powder and chicken powder. Marinating it overnight will also do.
Then I fried the chicken in my pot and used that same oil to fry the onions I marinated the chicken with.
I fried the onions on low/medium heat very for about 15 minutes, while continuously stirring, so they get nicely caramelised.
Afterwards I put in grated ginger and garlic and let it fry for a while so all the flavours get nicely incorporated.
After that I added the canned tomato and also let that fry for quite while, to avoid that sour taste.
Afterwards I pretty much followed the recipe.
For the broth I used hot water and some stock cubes, for my seasoning I used salt, thyme, a little bit of curry and nutmeg.
I let the fried chicken cool off and also cut it in pieces to put it in the soup with the spinach afterwards.
It's called WonkaVision 😉
Can we substitute almond butter??
I'm sure it would work, but it would definitely affect the flavor.
They are called groundnuts cos they grow under the ground not cos they are ground
What country in Africa
What country in Africa please ? You mentioned you grew up there
It’s called Tiguadege Na in Mali 🇲🇱
That's so good to know!
would this recipe turn out if one put mushrooms in?
I have yet to try this recipe with mushrooms in it, but I think it could work! Let me know how it turns out if you decide to give that a try.
First time I made the soup, I followed the recipe (although I used white potatoes instead of sweet, as well as making my own peanut butter) and it was very good. I tried again and added mushrooms (which I absolutely love), but their texture seemed out of place in the soup. Oh well, at least I still have your recipe to enjoy!
TheGoldenBalance has sent me👍
Welcome!
Africa is a contient and about 60 countries whom speaks over 1500 different languages.
Which country is you born in?
And I love your receipt,
Sierra Leone!
@@Feelgoodfoodie kushe!
You do know Africa isn’t a country and a continent lol . Different countries make different versions of peanut butter soup
This isnt West African peanut butter soup. This is far from how its made in Ghana. Maybe next time be specific as to which country as West africa consists of more than one country
My version is adapted from a recipe that I learned from my mom and grandma, who each learned it from the locals in Sierra Leone!
💀💀right I’m Malian she messed up
@@Feelgoodfoodiemy father and grandmother are from Freetown sierra Leon and this is no where near correct. Also ground nut means a nut from the ground not a grounded nut….
@malcolmXanaX I'm pretty sure that's what she meant. So everyone makes this soup differently. It's more of a family recipe thing. Calm your hateful tits.
I really want to try but, my family won't eat any unusal food😫😢
You can make it for yourself and store any leftovers in an airtight container! It will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
Habibti Krio is not the language of Africa, but I get what you mean. That is the language of Sierra-Leone. Also it is peanut stew, not soup. Peanut stew and peanut soup are two different things. Try not to generalize because people watching your channel will take every info you give them by the T and misunderstand. Groundnut in French is called Arachide. It's the peanut inside of the shell. The whole legume is called peanut or cacahuète in French. But I feel like African peanut is a different bread than those you find in the west because it tastes so different. It is called groundnut because it grows under the ground not because it is grinded.
For texture I recommend you use chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of breast. Good job tho.
I love this recipe. Oh She Glows has a vegan version. The only thing I would have changed is the references to "Africa." This is not very specific and a little cringe worthy and colonial. I am from East Africa and we don't have anything remotely close to this dish.
Thank you so much! This is inspired by or the version from where I was born, Sierra Leone!
@@Feelgoodfoodie Thank you honey! Sorry, I just meant it would have been nice to mention the country because Africa is a big place! I love that you pay homage to Sierra Leone, your birth place. I hope more people can share cultures the way you have!
@@Feelgoodfoodie In other words, it came off more harsh than I intended and I'm sorry!
What part of Africa are you from?
I grew up in Sierra Leone for 11 years!
@@Feelgoodfoodie Do you consider yourself Sierra Leonan? And do you think it’s a beautiful country?
That is not peanut soup. Is there no one on UA-cam? That knows how to make peanut soup.
This is NOT authentic, so many things not authentic about it.. and also you need to cook the peanut butter with water until the oil comes to the surface, before you add the meat
😂😂😂
“if youre from africa...then why are you white?” lol im just kidding its from mean girls lol
😂💛
It would have been nice to say what country specifically in West Africa. As we know Africa is a continent & west Africa comprises of many countries. It is up to us to educate the world & not speak in generic terms as the rest of the wirld treats us! Thanks for sharing.
West Africa, which part of Africa? If they says Europa, Europa is not same Europa, it different countries mix, so which part of Africa, some times I don't know how same of you ur mind works, alway say Africa and the country name, so annoying ty
Sierra Leone!
I’m sorry but that isn’t peanut butter soup. Go to my country Ghana for the real authentic peanut butter soup. I make it in my house all the time
There are many variations of this recipe depending on the country of origin. My version is adapted from a recipe that I learned from my mom and grandma, who each learned it from the locals in Sierra Leone!
Eishh😭u didnt have to bomb her like that lmao
LMFAOOO no fr I’m Malian and they didn’t go this correctly at all
So I usually don’t take the time to reply to ignorance but this is just ridiculous! The woman is posting a version of her recipe! Again, Ghana does not represent All African countries or the cooking so why be negative about something just because it isn’t what you’re accustomed to? We actually make it very similar to her recipe in Gabon. Just learn something new and move on!
So why don't you tell us how the authentic soup is made then? Otherwise your comment isn't of much use.
This looks soo bad! 😆
Stay in your lane!
For real
eww but west african soup is not done like this,sorry hun... maybe in india.
This is a perfect example of a culture vulture
A white woman making African Peanut Stew and posting a youtube clip? Oh hell no. I'll pass
@Chad Reese So Ghana represents ALL of West Africa? So ignorant!
Move along then.
You complain of racism, yet your comments are just as bad! I didn't realise that only black people could cook recipes from their own countries. 🙄
Is it because you are a racist?
The sword cuts both ways sweet cheeks.
