Muamba Nsusu (Congo Chicken Peanut Soup)
This soup is like a peanut-sauce-meets-chicken-soup. It is very easy to make, and it is very exciting to make a traditional Congolese dish! The soup is very tasty; don't add too much salt or you will loose the wonderful flavor of the spicy peanut and vegetables.
The traditional and common oil to use for Congolese cooking is Palm Oil, but vegetable oil will do fine in its place. This soup can be made relatively healthy: use less / no sodium choices for the peanut butter, and also use fresh tomatoes instead of canned.
