I would also appreciate it if anyone can send me a copy of Maggi Family Menu to my mail box.  We all know that variety is the spice of life!  Thanks.  My email: deedi08@yahoo.com

I'm new to this site and I want to add this simple and easy to prepare but quite tasty soup.
White Soup
Ingredients:
Whole chicken cut up ( I use live old layer - quite tasty too)
Salt
Nutmeg (4) cracked
Pounded yam (thickener)
Periwinkle
Ngolo (sea snail) optional
Scent leaf (nchawu) cut - used for preparing pepper soup
Dried fish (lady fish, gboh or doro)
Crayfish (grinded)
Fresh pepper (grinded)
Onion (large) - cut into pieces
2 knorr (or maggi) cubes

How to prepare
place the cut chicken (goat meat and snail can be used instead of chicken and of course the cooking time should be less) in a pot, add salt, 3/4 cupful water, nutmeg, knorr cubes and allow to boil for 25-35 mins, adding small amount of water when necessary.  Add the dried fish (washed with warm water to remove sand) and ngolo which is sold same place as the periwinkle, pepper, onion, grinded crayfish, cover pot and allow to cook for 5-15mins, add the periwinkle, small quantity pounded yam (you don't want the soup to be too thick!), cover pot and cook for 5 mins, stirring to see that most of the yam has melted, then add small quantity of the scent leaf (cut),   Allow to simmer for 1 min, correct seasoning, then remove pot from fire.

Serve with pounded yam or eba
