Steps:
- Combine the broth and water in a medium Dutch oven or stock pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the onion, ginger, garlic and salt. Cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes.

Steps:
- In a blender, purée 2 onion halves, 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken stock, 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 ounce ginger, and tomato paste. In a Dutch oven, combine chicken legs with purée, remaining onion halves, remaining 1/2 ounce ginger, and remaining 2 cloves garlic, along with hot pepper and bay leaves. Toss to coat.
- Set Dutch oven over medium heat and bring to a simmer, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until halved onion is soft and translucent, about 20 minutes. Add an extra 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken stock if mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Transfer chunks of onion, ginger, garlic cloves, and hot pepper to blender. Add peanut butter, canned tomatoes and their juices, and remaining 1 1/2 cups (360ml) chicken stock and purée until smooth. Pass blended mix through a fine-mesh strainer into the Dutch oven, stirring to incorporate.
- Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer, then lower heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender, oils have surfaced, and mixture has thickened and reduced by about one-third, about 40 minutes. Add smoked fish, reduce heat to low, cover pot, and cook an additional 5 minutes. (If omitting the smoked fish, you can skip this 5-minute covered-cooking step.) Remove and discard smoked fish and bay leaves, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot over white rice or fufu.

PEANUT SOUP
Peanut soup, also known as groundnut soup, is eaten throughout certain West African countries. Though made differently depending on the region or tribe, the common ingredient is peanuts. The process of cooking peanut soup in Ghana is slightly different from the way my mom taught my sisters and me here in the United States. In Ghana, the peanuts are first roasted and then ground with some water. This peanut butter liquid is continually stirred and cooked until it starts to thicken a bit, then it's stirred into another pot with homemade broth using a variety of meats and dried fish simmering on a coal pot. My mom's process of making this soup is the shortcut version. She blends natural peanut butter from the grocery store with peppers and garlic. My version is also a shortcut, but my broth is made with smoked turkey wings because I love the flavor it adds to the soup.

Steps:
- Rinse the smoked turkey, then add it to a large pot with the salt. Cut the onion in half and add one of the halves to the pot; chop the other half and add it to the pot too. Add the ginger and habanero pepper, if using, then add water to cover. Cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent, the fat from the wings begins to render and the broth is very fragrant, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the habanero pepper, if using, and transfer it to a blender or food processor. Add the peanut butter, garlic and 3 cups water to the blender and blend 1 minute. Stir the peanut butter mixture into the broth; it will foam and bubbles will form on the surface. Cook, stirring continuously to stop it from boiling over, about 5 minutes; some of the foam/bubbles will disappear and the soup will settle.
- Remove the ginger from the soup, add it to the same blender (cut it into smaller pieces first, if desired) with 2 cups of the soup and blend until smooth. Stir the ginger mixture back into the soup. Transfer the onion half to the blender with 1 cup of the soup and blend until smooth; stir the mixture into the soup to combine. Stir in the tomato sauce. Let the soup simmer until it starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- If using the mushrooms, add them to the soup, cover and let simmer, about 5 minutes, then remove the cover (if not adding the mushrooms, proceed to the next step).
- Let the soup simmer over medium-low heat until the meat and mushrooms, if using, are tender and little oil patches form on the surface, about 10 minutes. Adjust with salt if needed. Serve with fufu, omo tuo or steamed rice.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add carrot and onion; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft but have not taken on any color, about 5 minutes. Add peanuts, broth, and 3 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until peanuts are tender, about 1 hour, 20 minutes.
- Working in batches (do not fill jar more than halfway), puree soup in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. (Or use an immersion blender.) Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids to remove as much liquid as possible. Return to pot and reheat over low, if necessary.
- Stir lemon juice into soup. Season with salt and pepper and serve, topped with apple, red-pepper flakes, and a drizzle of oil.
CARLA'S AFRICAN GROUNDNUT SOUP
Carla's winning dish from Top Chef All Stars. I love Top Chef, but it's rare to see a vegetarian dish (unless the challenge is to cook for a vegetarian and then all the chefs complain), much less a vegetarian dish that wins. Got the recipe on Bravo's website. I'm putting it here for safekeeping. I have o idea how many this serves or how long it takes, so I guessed.
