Oha, onugbu, and okazi soups na like cousins.
Na mainly leaves differentiate them.

You and food bah?

Yeah, they're almost the same.
It's when you want to add the leaves that it gets different names.
I sometimes cook the thickener plenty and then divide into different pots for different leaves

Yuneehk:
My go to for Oha would be either offor or achi or ukpo.

Yellow scotch bonnet pepper is a must. Its taste in soups generally is something else.

And if I want to be extra, I'll rather use Palm extract (aforafo nkwu) instead of red oil.

Then finish it off with uziza leaves.

Munzy14:

Wow...Ukpo it's been ages I heard that name.

Yeah... It's not so common here but in the east.

That idea goes well o. Especially with oha and olugbu.

Truth...Are you from abia state?

Growing up my grandma had the plant...It fruits in pods that scratches if it touches the body...

We avoided like a plague.

Cool.

Thank you my dear. There more good out there than bad...

But the soup looks too busy. I always prefer simple things. If I come to your house as a guest, to entertain me will be kinda tricky. I don't eat all the things that almost everyone would wanna eat. I prefer garri and groundnut with chilled water to pounded yam. I don't eat chicken or turkey. Give me fish I'm ok. If there's no fish, I eat my rice plain like that. I'd take tea instead of Amala and ewedu. I'm just weird like that.

Channah1:


I prefer ukpo as my thickener though cos it's very light and has a unique taste.

did you say ukpo
Na wife material you be babe

I'm Igbo, and Oha soup is a very common delicacy among the Easterners so we know these things. There are still non Igbos who are interested and learn it as well same way we learn theirs.

If the people you get for there no sabi, you teach them. If you sef no con sabi, you learn and teach them.

You don't use ede(cocoyam) as thickner?

I prefer ukpo because it's light and non sticky like other thickeners. It also has its unique taste that blends well.

The beauty of OHA soup is the characteristic taste of the leaves and it's crunchy/vibrative nature when you chew it. It's remains my number 1 of all native igbo soups. I can forgo pusssy because of that soup

Channah1:


Wow... Really?
Cool.

Sure...

These things should have been a heritage to those from South East...But modern day generation has allowed them to go extinct...

Hope you know how to prepare it, else go get flagil and tetracycline

Hmmmm
I miss Chinasa, fixing good meals is quite easy for her. Not exaggerating, sometimes she would make two different meals for me whenever we are together.
But......

Oha, the king of soups.

Okra is the king of soups.

Please let's not argue about this.

Channah1:


Why achi?

I dislike the taste. Has this underlying taste that sticks to your taste bud which is why I don't like it and hardly maintains a light consistency.

It will just make face, kporchor for inside pot.

Always prefer ofor. Those white stuffs that's very stiff and pure white.
Achi got one very bad taste i dislike.

Smh....

My worst soup ever! I've tried non-stop to fall in love with this soup but I always feel sad and low when I eat it.
