Edikaikong soup is a mouth watering nutritious vegetable soup, native to the Efiks of Cross River and Akwa Ibom states in Nigeria and one of their most richest and popular soup recipe.

This delicious soup edikaikong is made with a generous amount of proteinous ingredients which makes it rich in taste and flavour.

Edikaikong is usually prepared with a combination of two different vegetables; Ikong Ubong/Ugwu leaves (pumpkin leaves) and water leaves but in the absence of fluted pumpkin leaves and water leaves, Spinach and Lamb lettuce/Mache (Valerianella locusta) can be used.

Awesome

Edikang ikong not Edikaikong. And pls when you are cooking the real efik or Akwa Ibom style no onions please. Then after boiling your meat, make sure the water is dried cos it's the Palm oil that serves as water that is why it is called edikang ikong.
Note Efik don't put periwinkle in their edikang ikong.


Now the method,

Wash your meat and boil it with maggi, salt and pepper.

Add your well sliced water leave. Allow it for two minutes,

Add your pound crafish, dry fish, stock fish and other things you have.

Add your palm oil allow it to cook a little then turn it and cover again.

Add Ugu as the last thing. Turn it and bring down.

We the yorubas have the best recipe for edikainkong soup. It originally originated from oshogbo before spreading to other pant of the south south like calabar.

I does not even knows why people doesn't knows their history and the real pant of where they came from

ok

I need a special recipe to fvck my Calabar girl...

Hmmmmm! I love edikaikong soup.......... Off to the market I go!

Am hungry now...

Nice...

But couldn't fail to notice something that is reoccurring among Nigerians:

What is with we and stock cube (maggi, knor cube, and all other seasoning)

Wash and cut the assorted meat in bite-able sizes. Clean the periwinkles, dried fish and stock fish and set aside.

Place the assorted meat and stock fish in the pot, add a little water, the chopped onion and one stock cube

Notice how rich the selected ingredients are; meat, dried fish, stock fish, crayfish...yet you still prescribe seasoning, why? What other taste will you get from the seasoning that isn't in all the ingredients?

I am asking these because these seasoning are not too healthy for we, yes, especially we guys. Don't be serving your husband food with high monosodium glutamate (MSG).
