A luxuriously rich Nigerian soup built on smooth peanut paste and loaded with goat meat, stock fish, smoked panla and smoked chicken — perfect with a hot ball of fufu.

Groundnut Soup is deep, nutty and unapologetically rich — a slow-simmered pot where creamy peanut paste meets a full assortment of proteins: goat meat, stock fish, smoked panla and smoked chicken. Aromatic uziza seeds, ehuru and scent leaves lift the whole thing so it's warming without ever being heavy. Ladle it over pounded yam, semovita or fufu for a genuine Sunday-lunch experience.
