Light Soup (Ghanaian Tomato Soup)
Clear, peppery tomato-based soup with chicken or fish, the lighter counterpart to thick Ghanaian soups.
Why It Works
Unlike thick soups meant for fufu, light soup has a brothier consistency that showcases the fresh tomato and pepper flavors; the garden eggs (African eggplant) add subtle bitterness.
