Maraq (Fah-fah)

The name 'fah-fah' is thought to imitate the sound of the pot bubbling as the soup simmers.
Maraq, often called fah-fah, is a clear, well-spiced broth of goat, beef or camel meat simmered with potatoes, carrots, cabbage, garlic and coriander until the vegetables soften and the broth turns fragrant.
Why it's made this way: As a warming, easily shared one-pot dish, maraq is a household staple across the Somali region, frequently served alongside rice or canjeero and considered restorative food for the sick or unwell.
