Cameroonian groundnut soup is a soup thickened with roasted blend groundnuts. It is very popular in Africa and taste very delicious.
It is often eaten with dishes like boiled rice , boiled yam. You can prepare this soup with meat , chicken, or fish or stockfish.
Many of my western friends have enjoyed this dish thanks to me. It’s a great soup for those who want to try something different even now and then.
Roasted groundnuts gives rhis soup a unique taste , color and flavour. I love it when mine looks golden brown.
I once tasted a groundnut soup cooked with smoked fish and smoked meat. Honestly, nothing ever thrilled my taste buds like that. I went for the 3th round.
