BANGA SOUP


I have never cooked Banga soup in my life. So my dear husband could only eat it at our friend's house BUT it will change, I promise. I will have a Nigerian "cooking teacher" soon and she will assist me at my first time.
I found a lovely video though that shows me how to do it. I would still like to try it with my teacher just to be on the safe side.:)







It's quite difficult to calculate how many calories are in Banga soup as it really depends on the amount of meat, fish , stock cod you take in your soup.

Some sources suggests that one cup of basic soup without any meat is around 400 calories. See details below:

Estimated oils from the palm kernel fruit: 360 calories
Maggi chicken (1/3rd of a small cube): 3 calories
Onions (1/4 slice): 16 calories
Red Bell Pepper, 1/10 :10 calories

Now, if you take crayfish, fish stock, smoked fish , cooked fish, lean ground beef meat and fish broths in your soup, obviously you need to add some more calories. How much? See here:
And enjoy your meal!
