This recipe for Akonfem nkatenkwan (Guinea Fowl Groundnut Soup) is just so easy, simple yet amazingly delicious.

We used Aftrad Village Kitchen’s Ready to Grill Guinea Fowl to cut down the cooking process. Due to how well-seasoned this Guinea Fowl is, there was no need to add any extra seasoning. Do try this simple recipe. Find the video illustration on the Youtube Channel.

This soup can be served hot with fufu, boiled rice, rice balls, boiled yams, boiled potatoes, boiled ripe plantains, or bread, or can be eaten on its own.

Here are some tips to know when your soup is cooked.

TIPS:

Three tips to check that the soup is cooked are:

  • A) the soup simmers down, this is noticeable by the mark left from the original level of soup.
  • B) A layer of oil is formed on the surface of the soup.
  • C) The soup thickens and when taken off the heat and allowed to cool down, it doesn’t separate into a distinct layer of water and soup.
