Nkatenkwan, also known as Ghanaian Peanut Soup or Groundnut Soup, is a rich, creamy, and flavorful dish made with peanuts, tomatoes, onions, and aromatic spices. One of the most cherished soups in Ghana, Nkatenkwan is enjoyed throughout the country and is often served with fufu, rice balls, banku, kokonte, or boiled yam. 

The soup is prepared by combining ground peanuts or peanut butter with a savory tomato-based broth and protein such as chicken, beef, goat meat, fish, or turkey. The peanuts create a velvety texture and deep nutty flavor that perfectly complements the spices and tender meat. 

A staple of Ghanaian home cooking, Nkatenkwan is known for its comforting taste, nutritional value, and ability to bring families together around the dining table.

  7.  Stir the peanut mixture into the soup.
