Simple Nkrakrakwan ( Ghanaian light soup)

An asanka of yam fufu with our light soup, served for mommy.

My daughter,  Kata has grown so fond of eating #fufuo lately. So this is my easy breezy, lazy day go to recipe I depend on. It is so simple to make and requires not much ingredients. Soups/stocks are a main in our Ghanaian cuisine and every household in Ghana can proudly boast of its own unique recipe. Here is mine and I hope you enjoy it as much my daughter does.

All you need.

700g Chicken parts or any preferred meat of choice
2 large fresh tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
2 inch fresh ginger about the thumb size
2 chicken stock cube (knorr or maggi) or use some fresh herbs like rosemary, basil and coriander.
1 big red onion'
Salt to taste

Make It

Prepare chicken by washing and place in a sizable soup saucepan, capacity of around 2 liters.
Add in rest of ingredients and about 2 cups of water. Add salt, cover and allow to boil for 10 minutes over medium heat.
Remove tomatoes, ginger, garlic and onion. Blend until smooth and add back to chicken.
Add desired amount of water but not more than 2 cups.
Cover and allow to boil for 20-30 minutes.

Please NOTE; I did not include chili peppers in this recipe. If you want some heat, feel free to throw in a few according to your taste buds.¨

Done enjoy with our favorite fufuo (mashed cassava and plantain).
