🇸🇳 Senegal recipe
Soupou Kandia
Soupou Kandia is a deeply flavorful Senegalese okra soup enriched with palm oil, smoked fish, dried shrimp, and an array of fresh seafood. The okra is sliced thin and simmered until it releases its characteristic silky viscosity, creating a glossy, rich soup that clings to every grain of rice. This is soul food of the highest order, a dish that connects Senegalese people to their culinary heritage with every spoonful.
