Is the hot water soaking for the veggies just to rid them of sand? What happened to cold water?
Genuinely confused here.

The vegetable soup is tantalizing! but I would also like to add my burger to the recipe!

Burgers are an American classic but they're often loaded with fat and calories. The good news is that there are a lot of easy ways to create delicious, low-calorie burger patties.

Hmmmm...thickener in vegetable soup? I've never heard of that. If you use the right amount of water in your soup, I don't think you'll be needing any thickner. @Op, soaking your vegetables in hot water is enough to remove the nutritional values. Why not rinse as many times as possible with cold water.

grin lol its a thickener, used to thicken soups such as vegetable soup or native soup... Its yellowish in color in the market... Anytime u want to cook vegetable soup, ofor is a very important ingredient..
Hi dingban. Did you say Ofor is very important for Vegetable soup? I have never used it for cooking vegetable soup. This is the 1st time I'm seeing Ofor as one of the ingredients used to cook vegetable soup. I used it only for Oha soup, bitterleaf soup if I don't want to use cocoyam or I use both depend on how thick I want my soup. I will try it out this weekend.

Welcome to Vast Kitchen
Edikaikong Soup.

To all 'EFO' famz, how excited you gonna be reading through this Recipe. 'EFO' popularly called by the Yoruba's is a great soup when preparing with appropriate ingredients Required as we would be analysing on it in this Recipe.

There are countless cultures in Nigeria, just so is the diversity of the vegetable soups of different kind. Nigerian Vegetable soup differs from tribe to tribe and the only head way is that some vegetables are more popular than others.

Eforiro, Afang, Edikaikong, etc are some of the popular ones around. These vegetables are the constants in their native kitchens.

As much as we like trying our hands on something different, it wouldn’t be an anomaly for the Yoruba kitchen for example to try out Edikaikong soup, which is themed as a vegetable soup from the east. Follow the instructions below to try the Edikaikong soup at home

How to make Nigerian vegetable soup:
Tools needed

*. Kitchen knife
*. Chopping board
*. 2 bowls (medium/large)
*. Cooking pot
*. Sieve

How to Prepare the Nigerian vegetable soup: Ingredients
*. Fresh clean water
*. 1 cup of palm oil
*. 6 cups of ugwu leaf
*. Chicken/Beef/fish
*. 2 spoons of ofor
*. 12 cups of waterleaf
*. 2-3 onion bulbs
*. 500g dried fish
*. 1 cup of grounded crayfish
*. Salt (to taste)
*. Pepper (to taste)
*. 1 cup of periwinkle
*. Stock fish head (medium size)

How to make Nigerian vegetable soup: Instructions
1. Cut and wash the meat to prepare it for cooking.

2. Parboil the meat, slicing in 2 onion bulbs, seasoning cubes (to taste) and any other spice. Cook till meat is almost soft for consumption.

3. Boil water and wash the stock fish, removing the sand and other particles, then add to the meat on fire.

4. Rinse the vegetables in cold water and slice it into separate bowls (the water leaf aside and the ugwu aside).

5. Pour hot water into the bowls to soak the leaves for at least 3 minutes, then sieve out the leaves and throw away the water.

6. Repeat the process until you are sure there is no more sand.

7. Add 1 cup of palm oil to the boiling meat on fire, add salt and pepper to taste.

8. Cook for 6-10 minutes, until there is very little traits of water.

9. Add grinded crayfish, periwinkles, a spoon of grinded ofor (sprinkled) and stir.

10. Leave to cook for 4-5 minutes.

11. Add the water leaf, stir very well and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the ugwuleaf and stir.

12. Leave to simmer for 3 minutes.

13. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool off.

Your Edikaikong soup is ready to be served with your favourite solid meal, be it Eba, Wheat, Semo, Pounded yam or Fufu.

Notes
*. Overcooking your vegetables doesn’t only make it overly soft; it also makes it lose its nutritional value. So be careful with the timing.
*. This procedure is for the Edikaikong soup in particular and the procedure cannot be substituted for another vegetable soup.

Soak vegetable in hot water? Abasi mi mbok, idogoh etok nmkpo,
Who does that, nawaoh. Please can vegetable be measured in cups? Biko am just curious
Re: Recipe: How To Prepare Nigerian Vegetable Soup by Enoquin(f): 6:14pm On Feb 08, 2017
Ofor in Edikaikong ke? How would an Oha soup taste if I decide to add Uyayak? undecided
Also, for someone who pointed out not cooking the leaves for too long so as not to lose its nutritional value, it is surprising that you washed your leaves 'after' slicing. Wash your leaves thoroughly, then slice
Re: Recipe: How To Prepare Nigerian Vegetable Soup by Sleekbaby(f): 6:15pm On Feb 08, 2017
Veg. soup doesn't need thickner just use little quantity of water to cook your meat that's all.

Op did a very nice job but washing veg. with hot water is strange to me and also measuring of veg. with cup
