This soup is as common as pepperpot soup in Africa and comes in many variations. In this recipe I use yam but potato or white sweet potato work just as well. I garnish the soup with tiger prawn and strips or deep fried plantains, these are optional and obviously it you are a vegetarian the prawns are definitely out. Corn muffins, spicy pita bread or deep fried African bread make a great accompaniment.
