Why Light Soup deserves more attention

Light Soup rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The nutty and palm-rich complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using fermented dawadawa correctly takes real skill.

fufu and soup eating requires communal sharing and is eaten with the hands. I encountered it first in a Accra chop bar and that context helped me understand it properly. Club Beer is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Light Soup is the dish to start with.
