Welcome to another Hive Learner’s Creative Sunday Initiative with George-dee. As usual, I prepared something yummy and I bet you will definitely love it.
Today’s delicacy is Groundnut Soup and just as the name implies, the soup is made from groundnut and some other recipes.
Groundnut Soup is a native soup of the Edo tribe but it is enjoyed across different tribes in Nigeria and abroad.
I first tasted the soup in 2013, some of my coursemates came to study at my place and one sweetheart decided to prepare the delicacy for us to enjoy. Ever since I tasted the soup, I always prepared it once in a while and my family loves it as well.
Ingredients.
The recipes aren’t difficult to come by and they aren’t expensive depending on what you choose to use.
- Roasted Groundnut
- Fish
- Cowskin
- Pepper
- Crayfish
- Stockfish
- Locust beans
- Onions
- Seasoning cubes & salt
- Pepper soup Powder
- Basil leaf
Preparation.
Remember health is wealth so before anything will be done, all the recipes that need to be processed must be processed. Cooking isn’t just about making a meal, it involves cleanliness as well. If you take away cleanliness from your preparation, healthiness is far from the meal no matter what your recipes are.
Before I started anything, I made sure my recipes were properly cleaned
- I blended the roasted Groundnut with a little water until it became a smooth paste.
- I also blended some locust beans and crayfish with a small quantity of water. You can decide to blend everything with the groundnut but I blended them separately.
- I blended the pepper as well.
- The cowskin, basil leaf, fish and everything had been cleaned.
For the preparation, I started by boiling the fish, cowskin, and stock fish with seasoning and onions. I allowed them to cook for about 8 minutes and please note that you can use beef, chicken or any other protein of your choice.
I brought out the fish after it had been properly cooked to prevent them from falling apart while stirring the soup.
I added the blended pepper, locust & crayfish paste and Groundnut paste immediately after removing the fish and allowed it to cook for five minutes. I added a little water because it’s not necessary for groundnut soup to be unnecessarily thick.
I added the remaining locust beans and crayfish but didn’t add seasoning after because I used enough from the beginning but if you check the taste and discover anything is missing, don’t hesitate to add it.
I went on to add palm oil and stirred before returning the fish into the groundnut soup. I allowed it to cook for another five minutes and added the Basil leaf after.
It only cooked for three minutes more and my groundnut soup was ready.
I served the soup with pounded cassava but it can also be served with other swallow meals; most preferably pounded yam.
Groundnut Soup isn’t just delicious, it is packed with lots of nutrients needed by all genders and is also economical. I wouldn’t want to go deep and it would be great if every lady that comes across this post can take a few minutes to check how this soup is very beneficial to them.
The combination of the soup and the pounded cassava is a balanced diet so Groundnut Soup doesn’t leave anything out, you will definitely enjoy it if properly prepared.

Firstly your video presentation was very good and I think your video presentation is getting better with time. That's good.
In the case of soup, I am not saying anything until you give me the opportunity to taste it.
By the way, it's looking good in taste.
!PIZZA
Thanks for the compliment bro, when we do things every time, we get better at it.
Giving you the soup to taste isn't an issue, the problem is the distance and I would have gladly invited you over.
It is easy, I think doing this shouldn't stress you.
Waooo, this is the first time I have seen this process, though I have heard of groundnut soup but haven't had a taste before, I will need to try it out but can I use scent leave as my vegetable
Yeah, you can use it. Any vegetable will work fine but the traditional Efo soko and tete won't give you that firm texture in the soup.
I am had you learned something from the post, happy Sunday to you.
I appreciate your response, I will try it out
@GeorgeDee, this dish looks absolutely delicious! I can't help but imagine the flavor with the peanuts, it must give it a super special touch. Thanks for sharing this wonder with us
Yeah, the Groundnut flavor really influenced the taste and it was very delicious. I am glad you love it, happy Sunday to you.

First time seeing a groundnut soup, never heard about it either, is it sweeter than egusi soup?
Seriously? You should try it bro, it's very delicious.
Groundnut and egusi have different distinct taste so I wouldn't want to compare but they taste really well bro.
Looks yummy George .. You can be a chef, so keep cooking!
