Prepare the Oha Leaves: - Wash the oha leaves thoroughly and slice them thinly. If using spinach, chop it finely. 7. Incorporate the Oha Leaves: - Add the sliced oha leaves (or spinach) to the pot. - If using periwinkle, add it at this stage. - Stir gently to combine the leaves with the soup without overcooking them. 8. Adjust Seasoning and Simmer: - Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt or additional seasoning cubes as needed. - Allow the Oha Soup to simmer for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld together. 9. Serve and Enjoy: - Once ready, serve the hot and aromatic Oha Soup in bowls. - Oha Soup is typically enjoyed with fufu, pounded yam, or any preferred swallow for a delightful and satisfying meal experience.
