Bowl of clear meat and vegetable soup with potatoes, greens, tomato, and herbs.

fah-fah soup

Djibouti · Sub-Saharan Africa

Short description
This hearty soup simmers meat and vegetables until the broth turns peppery, savory, and strong enough for flatbread.
Ingredients
Goat, lamb, or beef simmered with potatoes, greens, tomato, onion, garlic, green chile, coriander, and pepper.
Cultural note
Related meat soups are shared around the Horn, where spice, flatbread, and slow-simmered meat make a filling meal.
Common misconception
It can be called soup or stew depending on thickness; the defining idea is a peppery meat-and-vegetable broth.
