Light soup is a local indigenous soup of the Akan people of Ghana. The soup is called "light" because the dark-colored broth is thin. Originally formulated as a tomato-based seafood light soup called nkra nkra for fishermen at the coast of Accra, over the course of time it evolved into a soup prepared with both fish and a meat such as goat's meat, lamb, or beef, or exclusively the meat of the livestock of choice. The GaDangmes call it toolo wonu in the Ga language, and their neighbouring Akans call aponkye nkrakra in the Twi language.
