WHY I CHOSE TO COOK AFANG SOUP FOR THE WEEK

---

So I had a call from one of my friends, who informed me that she will be visiting us, I was wondering, what will I cook for her? Should I prepare rice ?, no, not everyone likes eating rice.

Afang soup just flashed my mind, I got up went to the market, and start purchasing items which I will use to prepare this delicious dish.

I prepare Afang soup during the week to welcome a special friend.
