Hi all, I know these past few months have been hell on earth. I noticed that most of our recipes in the Southern and Western part of Nigeria requires soup as a compliment. I will be giving out few tips to save money and create long lasting and tasty soups.

1) Dried red bell pepper: Dried tatashe/ can perform wonders when you want a soup that you can keep adding water. It primary function is to thicken the soup. You can make a difference to your pot of soup or stew with a few dried pepper. Simply soak in hot water for 30 mins to 1 hr till it softens and add it to the rest of the ingredients, blend together, use as usual. I don’t have a recipe at hand however it would go like this:
-a couple of tomato puree sachets like 2 or 3 sachets
-10 dried red bell pepper
-2 onions
-Dried Chili Pepper
-other spices like garlic
-oil

Prepare your stew as usual

Soya cheese: it is a great substitute for expensive proteins. The downside is the energy and time it requires to peel, boil, cook and/or fry to finally get those meat-like substitutes.

http://www.9jafoodie.com/wara-tofu/

-Instead of lime juice, you can get fermented/sour water from people who make ogi/pap/cornmeal. You can get it for free or buy from them cheaply. You need the same quantity as the soya milk to curdle. Just add it to the milk while it is boiling and wait for it to curdle.

Dried Chili Pepper or Sonbo: it is funny how most people often continue to use scotch bonnet pepper (Pepper) over dried chili pepper during hard times. If you want to make small and cheaper sauce for rice, yam, beans. Simply soak your dried chili pepper in hot water till it softens or soak overnight, add enough onions, ginger, garlic and other spices to douse the spiciness, fry as usual. If you do not really like hot sauce, please omit the ginger. You can use these combo to eat your rice, beans and yam.

Egg stew: the good thing about egg stew is that you do not need lots of eggs to create a substitute for Fried eggs. You still have the protein and pepper. You can use any pepper mix to create a perfect egg stew.

-Blend your pepper with onion, fry, you do not want a thick consistency if you are trying to make more.

-Season well

-Add your beaten eggs

-Continue to mix until it has solidifes

Lafun, cornmeal(tuwo) and wheat: these are morsel foods that you can substitute for Amala/eat/Semo/poundo yam and occasionally garri. Did I hear poor man's foods? I beg to disagree. Food is food. If it tastes great and is filling, then you don't have to justify it. The cheaper process that takes to make them does not mean they are inferior to other foods of the same category.

Beans soup(Gbegiri): it is a perfect and healthy substitute for soups that accompany morsels. Peel your beans, boil with onions till it softens, mash it and sieve (if you have a blender, just blend the beans with the rest of the ingredients or you could blend the beans and add it to the Pepper mix).

http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/soups/gbegiri-soup.html

Okro/ogbono soup: this is the time to learn to make okro soup. You do not need tomato or Pepper mix to make a great soup. You can make a tasty okro soup with dried pepper and palm oil.

http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/soups/okra-okro-soup.html

Banga soup (palm fruit): This soup is commonly prepared in SS and SE parts of Nigeria. Palm fruit extracts make up up the bulk of the soup. It is a great alternative to proper egusi soup or vegetable soups.

http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/soups/banga-soup.html`

Melon soup: this type of melon soup is different. I believe it originates from Ijebu. It is not like the popular version of melon soup. The amazing thing about this soup is that you can eat it with rice and your morsels. You blend your dried melon with onions, scotch bonnet pepper or dried chili pepper, adding red bell pepper or dried red bell pepper is optional. Usually it contains more water, so you can add more water until you achieve the consistency you desire.

lanicky:

skarlett:
I can

Oh really. Oya, how much does it cost to cook a pot of bitter leaf soup. Let's see how well you know your kitchen, unlike the OP

Zidjay:
Me haff been cooking with dried pepper (It's expensive now, but way better) since the epileptic market price of fresh pepper and tomato. I don't even know how much dey sell tomato. Wetin concern me . And everyone in the house can attest to the sweet difference.

The emboldened bear testament that negates the essence of this thread. Since the OP said cheap, and you attest that it is no longer cheap but way better attest to this.

Also, 50 Naira tomatoes is now a proper joke, I don't even want to talk to how much a basket of tomatoes is, talk less of Tatashe and Atarodo.

Lafun sef don cost o... But it's a good substitute for elubo dudu.
We have swapped ogbono for egusi. Ogbono is now expensive!

Bro, I'm sure you know a derica of (hand break) egusi which was N400 is now almost going for N500, half a derica of egusi is now almost N250. This is just the tip of the iceberg oh. Lafun too is now cost. Ogbono is a no go area.

Things are now so expensive, the OP should have included the price of the meals she mentioned. I'm sure she knows if she included it she'll be astound to find out that even she can't afford it. Lol.

lanicky:
Thanks a lot

I'm sorry.

Am very sure you will prepare another one after the contest,hope i will get a plate on that one?

lanicky:
I'm sorry.

Bamz:
Is there a more detailed procedure you could provide?
PS. I'm an infrequent cook

Here's my mom's recipe for it
1.Pour ur groundnut oil into a pot on fire
2. When it's hot enough, pour ur sliced onions n tomatoes (diced or blended with peppers)
3. Stir at intervals till well cooked
4. Add ur whisked eggs n let cook for less than a minute. Stir so dd eggs form little clumps( abi balls? )
5. A little water, other stuff like salt, Maggi, ugu leaf (optional) , fish, etc. Whatever you want to sweeten it to your taste. Stir n take it off the fire after a minute or two. Gbam, nni eyego (hope I got dt spelling ryt). Food is ready. Serve with boiled yam or rice or something else.

Dried pepper is cheaper than fresh red pepper. A dozen of dried pepper is 100 naira, and it's enough to make a soup when you add #100 fresh tomatoes with enough onions.
I love the taste when grinded with fresh onions. Infact, it's not necessary to add fresh tomatoes or tomato paste with it if you want to make a sauce.

You can use as many onions as possible (atleast onion is very cheap in the market. It's just 70 naira per dozen if you really know how to price things)

While

The smallest size bowl of fresh pepper is #100, and you will hardly find 15 fresh peppers in the bowl. Which is not enough to make a better soup.


•Lafun is cheaper than elubo dudu...so it's better to eat it for now till the economy gets better.
