MyJoe, you incorrectly labelled my soup as okra :/

My soup is my soup. I refuse to eat ogbono without green vegetable and that was what I had and wanted. If you tasted it then you wouldn't be talking

maedan:

MyJoe, what diet did u say u were on?! Lol, I have to google that! About onion + ogbono, I totally agree, they just don't mix! But a long time ago, I visited a schoolfriend at home and got introduced to the style of adding okra and ugu to the soup. It made it fiendishly thick, but it was delish! I cook d mix once in a while, but only a small pot bc the vegs don't keep well in the soup and re-heating softens it too much.

MyJoe:

You are right about your soup. But you added okro to ogbono - that makes it okro to Ogbono Activists and Cuisine Connoisseurs. 

I first came across this soup in Lagos. I went to a restaurant and the Igbo woman said she had ogbono, only for her to present okro! You should have seen the wicked look I gave her. I later found a restaurant run by an Edo woman close to the office where ogbono, in all its immaculate glory, was served. As for the green, we make do with ugu. But once you add okro, it becomes just that - okro, not ogbono. But I see that's how you prefer it, and I think okro is a great soup.

Fhemmmy:
