Chop the onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and hot pepper.
Boil the chicken thighs with half the salt and 3 cups of water for 20 minutes.
Blend the onions, tomatoes, tomato paste, ginger, garlic, and hot pepper.
Add the vegetable puree to the chicken and boil for 12 minutes.
Loosen the peanut butter with 1 cup of hot water, then stir it into the pot.
Add the remaining water and salt, then cook the soup for 23 minutes until thickened.
Prepare the rice for serving and serve the groundnut soup hot with rice.
💡 Tip: Loosen the peanut butter with hot water before adding it; if it goes straight into the pot, it can stay lumpy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve groundnut soup hot in deep bowls with a rice ball, lemon, and optional hot pepper as a main dish.
