Afang Soup is one of the best delicacies that originate from the Ibibio people of Akwa Ibom and the Efik tribe of Cross River State in Nigeria. In some other parts of the country, Afang soup is called Okazi soup. In English, it is usually referred to as “wild spinach.”

The soup is made from Gnetum Africanum, a strong-flavored green leaf vegetable that is commonly grown in West Africa. This vegetable grows in all seasons, and you can find it in large numbers in the forest.

For convenience, you can get the leaves at the market at any time of the year. It’s widely grown by some farmers and available for subsistence and commercial purposes in Nigeria due to its popularity among natives.

As I have said earlier this soup is an exotic cuisine with numerous nutritional benefits. Apart from the Afang leaves (Gnetum Africanum), it is usually prepared with waterleaf, periwinkle, beef, and other numerous ingredients.

It’s one of the major traditional dishes of the Efik people, and it has gained popularity in other tribes because of its unique taste; even people in the diaspora have adopted the soup too. You can eat it alone or with another meal. It’s best enjoyed when served hot.

Now let’s get down to it; preparing this soup isn’t a big deal as long as you follow these simple steps properly.

It is always prepared with waterleaf, but you can substitute it with lamb lettuce or the common spinach, though these substitutes will alter the taste a little bit, so waterleaf is still the best option.

I used the following Ingredients to prepare my simple but very delicious Afang Soup:
1. Sliced fresh waterleaf (Gnetum Africanum)
2. Red oil
3. Sliced Afang leaves (Dry Leaf was used.)
4. Cray Fish
5. Goat Meat
5. Ponmo
6. Cameroon Pepper or Black Pepper
7. Stock Fish
8. Onions
9. Salt
10. Cube Seasonings.

NOTE: There are other ingredients you can use to make the soup but remember that I am showing you the easiest way to prepare a very simple but delicious Afang soup.

Now watch the video below and see how you can prepare simple Afang Soup without much stress.

You don’t slice your afang (okazi). You pound or blend it- after slicing.

Afang soup with water?

Try again.

When I saw the thread, I thought it was yours.

Ohh efere afang nyin. Yak Abasi odiong Akwa Ibom nyin mfon mfon.Amen.

This Green guy that keeps disturbing FP with news from that SoftPorn House aka Big Brother Naija.

One thing about this green guy is how he posts and also jostle for FTC under his own post.
Maybe you don't know that FTC gives some guys orgasm. It is a little reward and self-satisfaction obtained from opening different threads and some of us are calling on Oga Seun to even monetize it.

Maybe he has noticed that a lot of us no longer give a bleep about BBN, he now wants to give us cooking sessions.

As someone who has roots in the creeks, the soup we are talking about here is held in high regards.
This particular soup is known to consume lots of red palm oil but all I am seeing here is a mini jacuzzi filled with aqua.

This is a disgrace to the identity and integrity of this highly reverred soup. The OP is an Afonja, no wonder the soup is flowing with rivers of living water.

Periwinkles is the 'life of the party' here. If I am sucking the periwinkles, even if WW3 is been fought next doors, I won't even know. Probably, the only thing I suck better is my banny's boobs and Vjay!

Next time, make sure you do your assignments well before shouting on lala and that gay mod for FP.

Rubbish.

This is concussion. Afang isn't watering.

Substitute red oil in place of that water.

I don’t mind marrying a calabar girl because octhis soup

The way Calabar and Akwa Ibom girl de f**k still de surprise me...whether na all this kain food I no know o..

First of all, you missed one vital ingredient which is Periwinkle. Every Afang soup is incomplete without it. It would have covered some areas in your rivers of soup

There's a miscalculation somewhere. Afang should not be watery

Op come make l teach how to prepare efere afang

The first time I took the soup, I discovered some hard objects inside. As a person who doesn't like to waste food, I tried my teeth on one. Cring! was the sound I heard.
I later found out they were periwinkles. Thank God my teeth are still intact. Akwa Ibom and soups sha. If one is not careful here, soups will consume all one's earnings.

Learner but tried 50%

Ops as you wan marry them ready to die for Bleep too o

Na Afang pepper soup you cook o see water Jesus

This one na okazi soup. Not afang.

Afang soup doesn't have liquid in it. It's usually pastey and soft. The only visible liquid should be your Palm oil for those who like to eat plenty of oil.

To get the pasty type of afang, use dry waterleaf. Then pound or grind the afang. No matter the amount of liquid from your meat stock, the pounded afang will absorb it.

Ha na water soup be this? Abi afang pepper soup?

Oga abeg mind your #BBNnaija updates and leave cooking for the cookibinus.

K

Afang is not Okazi soup...
