she wasn't criticizing at all. She was just very surprised because it was so different from what they call Mafé in french speaking WA countries. Mafé can never be as liquidy and soupy as peanut butter soup, also many onions are needed, along with aubergines, cabbage and carrots, in order to prepare a proper mafé. Mafé is very different from peanut butter soup. She was just surprised. Just look at how they criticized her food, because they didn't know it was done differently in french speaking WA countries. They were very mean, yet very ignorant.

Hi guys Mouna’s here. Thank you for watching this episode. I just want to clarify few things. I went to the show thinking they wanted me to make peanut butter stew and that’s why you see a stew instead of soup. I was very confused when I seen other people who brought a normal peanut butter soup. That’s why I was asking too much about them vegetables lol. For those familiar with French African peanut butter soup (Maafe) you guys know it’s heavy and full of vegetables so that’s what I made. And when you say soup it means maafe for us. So I guess it’s different from each country. I wasn’t trying to be mean or rude I was just very confused so I apologize for it. Also I like Abena’s soup better because hers wasn’t really spicy. Kathy’s soup was just too spicy for me to eat. I just couldn’t. That’s just my preference ! Anyways it was nice to be part of it. Thank you for the opportunity Buzzfeed. Don’t forget so many parts were cut, you guys didn’t get to see everything. So be kind🫶🏾 Thank you for all the positives feedbacks✨ I appreciate y’ll💕

I'm Indian and decided to try making peanut butter soup at home a couple of months ago out of curiosity. Used elements of a few different Ghanaian recipes and did mine with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and some own brand peanut butter from the Coop. MY GOD. It had been a long time since I'd tried something that had such a completely new flavour profile; it was properly spicy, smooth and unctuous, with the fat from the peanuts and chicken combining to make the flavour of the anise and thyme and garlic go on and on and on. I ate it three days in a row and it's become a go-to dinner, though it does take some planning since I like to marinate the chicken the night before and cook after work. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe it. I wish I could bottle this sauce and BATHE in it - plus, we keep the residual fat skimmed off the top and cook everything in it from fried rice to eggs. If anyone wants to invite me and my husband over for an authentic bowl made by someone who grew up in one of the cultures that loves this dish, I will be your best friend :'D

The other lady from Sierra Leone makes hers the way I make mine. It’s thick and spicy and with lots of meat and but I eat it with rice, not yam or cassava. So, I knew the Ghana lady was gonna win because that’s the most authentic African way of cooking peanut butter soup/sauce.

Us Filipinos have something similar to this, but it's more like a stew than a soup. We call it Kare-Kare. It's traditionally made with oxtails, but since that ingredient is kind of expensive now, beef is used (not sure what cuts). We also typically add in tripe, eggplant, bok choy, and green beans, but there are other ingredients added because everyone has their own delicious recipe. We normally eat it with a side of white rice and that's all she wrote. I want some now and I just had some at a party yesterday lol (no baon :( )

I ain't West African so I don't know what an authentic peanut butter soup is.. But #1 looked so damn good. From looks alone I thought it'd win. Plus I like spicy foods so that's also a win. #2 looked like it'd taste good and would definitely taste of peanut butter, but I'm not one for runny soups. #3.... Hell, I'd still eat it. They all looked delectable.

Peanut soup gets thicker the next day after you made it. Or you can make it thicker. I prefer it thick. Not too runny. Not too thick. The rice balls are just yum with it. But I prefer fufu all day everyday.

When I was a child, a dear friend of mine's mom tried to make peanut butter soup as a "gourmet" thing she read about. This was in the mid-70s, and it was ghastly. I had had Ghanaian food, and it tasted nothing like hers. 50 years later, and I still enjoy it from a local place that makes it. Palm nut soup, too. Goat, fufu...just delicious. I'm happy to see people trying and eating from a wider base of regional cuisines. It warms the heart. Excellent video! 🥰

You can tell the difference in personal taste. Some of y'all forget that not everyone cooks the same, and I don't think anyone is this was really criticising or being mean. Mouna kept saying there should be vegetables, and this is how it is done in her country and that just her personal taste and preference, and I think everyone rated on their preference.

In Cameroon we have like different kinds of peanut butter soup (also called groundnut soup). We have "white" groundnut soup, this is usually prepared with peanuts which have not been grilled prior to grinding to make the soup. Then we have the regular groundnut soup which closer in comparison to the first ladies soup in this video. To make this soup, whole raw peanuts a lightly grilled in a skillet then ground into a paste which will be used to make the soup. Finally we have people who like putting vegetables in the soup like shredded cabbage ( a little bit like the third lady's soup) but ours is soupy with more liquid than hers.
@fullofgrace91 10 ай бұрын
Yess. Its true that some folks make it with storebought peanut butter; but, even in college, my best friend' s roommate(they are Camers❤) would make it by taking pan grilled peanuts and grinding it up into a paste and then adding water and palm oil and lots of tomato paste and onions and "peppehh" and boiling it down with fresh local chicken(Not frozen). Then, after it got to the most dreamy😊 consistency, she would serve it over a bed of fluffy Jasmine rice. I had never, and I still have never had another culinary experience quite like it!!! Uhhhm uhhm uhhhm...so good😊❤🎉🎉 Its an art, really because, though I can duplicate the flavor, I have never been able to duplicate the consistency. Oh and they called it Gound nut soup, and not peanut soup. I guess thats because peanuts grow in the ground.😅 Now, almost 17 years later. I am vegan so I make ground nut soup the same way, except, in place of chicken, I make it with eggplants and okra and spinach and sweet potato, and black eye peas

This is so cool because my parents use to live in Burkina Faso as Ghanaians and they picked up the way that they make peanut soup and incorporated with the Ghanaian way so usually when my mom makes peanut soup it has a balanced consistency that isn’t light but isn’t heavy so you could eat it with fufu or rice
