  • 1 big onion
  • 2 fresh tomatoes
  • 1 small can of tomato puree
  • 1 magi cube
  • 8 ounces groundnut paste
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 pint water

  2. Add the groundnut paste and the tomato puree, then cook over a gentle flame until the oil from the groundnut paste starts coming to the top.
  3. Put the chicken -- which should be already cut into pieces, fried and seasoned – into the saucepan.
  4. The tomatoes, salt and pepper should be mixed in.
  5. After stirring gently with a wooden spoon over a gentle flame, the groundnut soup will soon be ready and is guaranteed to taste delicious.
  6. Instead of chicken, you can use almost any other meat. In Togo you might even use a bush rat.
