Greypencils, I had you in mind making this soup.
I think it's because it has oyel and pepper
This plate is for you.

Happy weekend everyone.

I never chop this soup before but it sure looks like something that will go well with better yellow garri.

Nice one glory nwaanyi oma.

@bolded, yellow garri no dey go well. I think Efo riro with rice is the perfect combination.

I swear, if you chop efo riro with rice omo! You will know there's difference between a virgin kpekus and a Overstretched kpekus. You go too enjoy the food. Aje!

Zonefree, this soup is competing for the best soup of the year award in my kitchen

I used that draw like yellow garri the last time and it was amazing.

One good thing with the soup is that it goes with anything, pounded yam, rice, semo, garri etc.

Thank you as always.

In as much as Nairaland is a faceless forum, don't focus all your write ups with kpekus cos I know that kpekus is not what you do all day in real life.

You are correct, Efo Riro goes well with rice too.

The soup got nice review already. Can I get it anywhere here in Owerri?


Btw, is mariahangel aware there's a soup competing with okra soup as the best soup of the year?

Am not sure of the restaurants in Owerri, but do ask around you might be suprised you will see it.
Or you can cook it yourself, you can use Ugu or Green if you don't find Shoko there.

Mariahangel, this soup is one of the reasons I can't choose one meal for the rest of my life
Have you had it? Can you compare it with Okro soup?

It's all yours.

It has lots of oyel for my oyel friends

Your moniker sounds funny though, lol.

You are most welcome our Oyel boyfriend.

I enjoy ego riro with rice.

This soup is on point and one of the best soups. With those obstacles? This must be super.

I think green would be a better alternative.

Nne, you're kuku the goddess of food.

I've not had it before, but I can imagine how it'll taste like (without iru of course).

Nne ooooooo. It tastes so good, I found a solution to Iru for you, wash it before using.
No smell at all but good flavours.

I might give it a try before the end of time.

What does it taste like?

It has this distinct native flavour, I can't just explain it.

Before the end of time

Eforiro is not complete without iru. I still have the one I made in my pot. It's a finger licking something!

The leaf used didn't appear on the list..

I will have enough of this soup this dry season with the abundance of the shoko..

Precooking the shoko before adding to the soup broth, won't it kind of reduce the nutritional value of the shoko leaf?
