Foul!

Edikang Ikong is highly overrated. It wouldn't even make my top 10 sef.

Efo Riro - Never tasted it, so no comment.

To me, the bestest soup in Nigeria is a well prepared Bitter Leaf soup. You can find the best ones from a typical Anambra family.

Second is Oha Soup. You can only find the good ones during Christmas period. That's when good oha leaves come out.

Third - A good okra & ogbono soup is always delicious

Finally, Egusi soup - for when the first three are NOT available.


O pari

TunnyOgunnowo:
Soups are very important in Nigeria as they are usually served alongside swallows like Eba, Amala, Fufu, and Semo. In Nigeria, we have an uncountable number of delicious soups. In fact, as a tourist, you are spoilt for choices. As such, here are 5 tasty Nigerian soups for tourists.

Edikang Ikong
Edikang Ikong soup is native to the people from Akwa Ibom and Cross River states. It is prepared with a lot of pumpkin leaves, water leaves and assorted meat as well as beef. It is quite nourishing.

Efo Riro
Efo Riro is a rich vegetable soup that is widely prepared among the Yorubas. The vegetables that can be used to cook this soup is Efo shoko (Green Amaranth). If this is not available you can simply use spinach.

Bitter leaf soup (Ofe Onugbu)
Bitter leaf soup is very popular in Eastern Nigeria. The name bitter leaf soup can discourage you from eating it. This is not the case as the traces of bitterness is removed by squeezing and washing the leaves several times.

Miyan Kuka
This soup is made from baobab leaves. It is mostly eaten in Northern Nigeria. Hence, when you find yourself in that region, make sure you have a plate of Miyan Kuka with Tuwo Shinkafa (mashed rice).

Abak Atama
Abak Atama Soup is a delicious soup popular amongst the Ibibios of Akwa Ibom. The name is derived from the two main ingredients- Palm Fruit Concentrate (Abak) and Atama Leaves.

Have you tasted Afang soup. Although Edika Ikong is overrated but if it is cooked by a typical Efik woman, you will know that Edikan Na soup.
