Authentic Sierra Leonean Pan-Fried Tofu Soup

Assemble the ingredients: tofu, paprika, yogurt, parsley, black pepper, carrot, potato.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the tofu and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Sierra Leonean flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Sierra Leonean accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
