ha! found the cookbook, it’s a Nigerian dish called Ala (or so the book wants me to believe)
as I’m too lazy to translate it - very similar to this one but with added chopped tomatoes.
An article about the soup says that the soup is common all over the country with more variants than citizens (more or less).
In a forum I found “my” version but the author used a whole fish
I am not the biggest fan of soup* but it was interesting when I tried it (one time with a European-hot amount of chili pepper and once for the lulz and giggles with much MUCH more - it’s true, we weren’t able to discern if the soup was cold or warm)
* Struwwelpeter is a lie, though. I did not die within five days after declining soup.
