Owo Soup

Owo soup is a soup that is mostly eaten by the Isoko and Urhobo people from southern Part of Nigeria. If you are planning to have an Isoko traditional marriage and Owo soup is not included in your menu, then you are not ready. The soup is prepared with ingredients like salt, Akanwa (potash), Dried catfish, thick Kpomo, Cowhead, red oil, Pepper, crayfish, starch, seasoning.


Procedures:

Wash the cow-skin (Kpomo), meat and cow-head place them in a pot, allow to cook add oil into it. Add dry fish make sure they are deboned, add seasoning, salt for taste. Allow to cook then add crayfish (grounded), add oil then leave to cook properly.


Then go ahead to dissolve the starch in a Bowl then pour the mixture into the cooking stock. Sprinkle a little potash into the cooking stock and make sure you stir as you are adding. Keep stirring vigorously as the Owo soup is cooking. The potash reacts violently with the oil, stir continuously to stop the soup from spilling away. Leave to cook until you achieve a desired thickness. Owo is served with starch or fufu.
