I once had a bad experience of a soup I prepared and the next day got sour. I later discovered that the meat I bought was spoilt but d idiot sold it to me without me knowing. Perhaps one of the ingredients you used was bad.

For remedy, slice a reasonable size onions and put while warming. It can only reduce the sourness cos d damage has already been done. Sorry...

Well done for being the only person thusfar to provide a possible solution; You sound like you are an excellent cook. Are you a professional cook or in the restaurant business?
Thanks. Neither. I am not a fan of cooking.

Do people lick the spoon while cooking? That's gross. Once I lick the spoon for any reason, I wash the spoon before dipping it back into the soup.

Anyway, I'm seeing the oil is still floating. Oil on its own is a preservative so I'm surprised it is foaming. Op, add lots of ground crayfish and potash (ikewu). Warm very well and then leave the cover partially open till it cools, then cover it back. It will be almost as good as new
I read lick and spoon, and suddenly, my thoughts went to something that has nothing to do with the thread. grin smiley

Yesterday I dey kitchen till almost 10.30pm
Cooked okro soup and Ofe Akwu for today's rice. With well seasoned beef

As I woke up happily to go an warm it and it was looking a bit swollen with tiny little bubbles popping up.

Hmmm maybe na prank
I turned around to check. But na my house so I no expect to see hidden camera.

Na so this banga take spoil.
The idea was to include some more veggies and stock fish to the stew this morning b4 dishing it into the storage containers for freezing.

Hmmm! *sighs deeply*

At that moment i wished I was a babe so I would have no excuses than to start crying like a child.

I legit felt like crying at that instant because WTF?! And fridge dey o

I had to go borrow a bigger pistle & mortar from a neighbour to get this stew done faster that yesterday and now it's spoilt?

This can't be true.
I just bent over the pot to perceive the aroma but... Nothing. No odd smells. But it's def going bad

Madd! 😠

Its over 3 hours now since I warmed it up again. I want to know if there's any solution to make it taste any better as it kinda slaps a bit and not so fresh any more


. I feel like calling my babe to ask for a solution but remember say I no get babe .. now I'm double mad! 😡 💢

Called mumsy and she advised to add some balls of charcoal to it.

I think I understand how women feel when they have drastic mood swings and go from happy to erratic in seconds. That's me rn.

I went from having the mental composure of Master Shifu (see Kungfu Panda) to that of a 3yo baby.

So now... Sunday lunch will be replanned.
Any remedy to the soup? Any hope huh

I'm omw to the market to get some charred coal. I'll check suggestions so I'll buy anything I need at once
. You try I beg 👍

Add kaun/potash too, helps remove any foul taste.

back then my mum used to add a little potash to sour. It won't restore the original taste but it's better.

Add palm oil, enough onion and recook without covering it.

If you have charcoal drop some big balls inside while cooking. Charcoals are good adsorbent
U mean the normal charcoal from firewood? huh

Sorry about your stew. I've had the same experience preparing banga soup with fresh catfish. I learnt the hard way not add the head of catfish in the soup, it makes it go bad fast. Did you use fresh fish in preparing this?

Next time, leave the soup/stew to boil very well after stirring, before bringing it down/turning off the heat.

Normally is not the raw charcoal you add to a sour soup but the ashes gotten from the burnt charcoal from firewood. Sprinkle justa bit according to the volume of your soup lol.

Then open your pot while boiling, omo the original taste go surprise you. Try this with any sour soup

😂 😂 😂

I heard they use baking powder to fix it. A friend did that in my house. It happened that I used 24,000 to sponsor a soup-cooking project through my sister-in-law, unlike you, I don't know how to cook - Omo, na so I just got back from work and found the soup looking angry and showing signs of "about-to-go-bad". The anger in me had me thinking of washing it away, then a friend stopped me and used baking powder to remedy it. Not fresh, but not bad. That rage no even let me eat am again.

Drop a charcoal in the soup and warm till the sour tastes is gone.
You can also add your fish and veggies to reignite the real taste.
