Cooking has been my number one activity during this pandemic.
I haven’t made a lot of time to cook in the last few months and I didn’t realize how much I missed it.
This soup brought back a lot of childhood memories.
My Mom made the world’s best Groundnut soup, and we would have this soup once in every two weeks and trust me it was to live for!
We ate Peanut butter soup with Fufu or Omo Tuo (Rice Balls).
I don’t think there was ever a fight on those weekends because all five of us kids were happy campers.
The left-overs will be eaten with Gari, a West African meal that is bagged or packaged and can be eaten with almost everything and its a good add on to Waakye.
