5 clear steps
Place the meat in a pot. Add chopped onion, seasoning cubes, salt, and enough water to cover everything. Simmer until the meat is cooked through and tender to your taste—this can take a while for tough cuts of meat.
Add pumpkin chunks to the pot. Cook until they become soft (about 10–15 minutes), then gently mash some of the pumpkin to thicken the soup.
Add groundnut paste if using, daddawa, palm oil, chile pepper, and fish. Stir well and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Add your leafy vegetables and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add water if needed to get your desired soup thickness.
