Hi there

I am going to visit my man very soon and I want to prepare a very tasty soup for him,
he is from Aba, so it should be an Igbo soup u know how they are
I can cook egusi and ogbono and stew and all that, but it has to be sth extraordinary

Hope u ladies have some good ideas for me!

Lov ya lots !

Stay blessed !

There is bitterleaf soup its really nice and an igbo favourite do you have access to the traditional seasoning like ogiri (its a frozen fermented wrapped bean) same process as cooking the others but you need this bitterleaf and need to cook it seperately and keep draining it till the bitterness is off then add it to the should You will need conflour to thincken the soup.

Or else there is one soup called ofe nsala, this is really nice too. I think there is a like to it here on the forum so hang on I'll try to pull it up.

Ingredients:
tripe (he will love that!)or any meat really or you could use fresh fish or both even better
black pepper (about two tablesoons)
stockfish fish
smoked fish
crayfish
dry pepper
salt
pepper soup spice (two to three table spoons)
Onion
Yam paste for thickening or cornflour
ogiri wraps (if you can obtain them)
Water
maggi or knorr cubes 6-8

Method

Clean fish/meat and cut into desired sizes.
all the ingredients are ready put every thing into pot except for fish to prevent it from scaterring.
add ogiris
Add yam paste to thicken allow every thing to boil together.
Allow to thicken. Serve hot with pounded yam. Enjoy

PS cook the fresh fish seperately by seasoning it and putting it into the pot at the last minute.

Im not Nigerian but I asked my husband was this the correct way and he said it sure was,
