Hey stylishly Elegant people,
No doubt, Nigerian meals are very
tasty. Those of us who live in the diaspora can attest to this, as we do not
get to eat them often, unlike when in Nigeria. As the year draws to a close,
give yourself the target of eating that which you’ve never had before or you
haven’t had for long. Try out some lovely Nigerian soups before the end of the
year.
Here are the seven tasty
Nigerian soups you should try before the year runs out;
1. Afang Soup:
This soup is a rich soup that got its name
from leaves. Due to its rich nutrients and flavours, afang leaves are bitter
and a little tougher than your average leaf, but when blended or chopped
finely, it creates a lovely texture and taste in the mouth.

2. Ofe Onugbu:
Ofe
onugbu is a popular Nigerian soup. Bitter leaf Soup is peculiar to the
Igbo tribe. The name is quite misleading in that a well prepared
Bitterleaf Soup should not have even the slightest bitterness.

3. Ila Alasepo:
Ila Alasepo’s major quality is the way it
sticks or “draws” in the popular Nigerian voice . This is an often spicy
one-pot edition of two separate meal components (the okra and the stew),
bolstered with lots of assorted cuts of meat and seafood.

There is no much goodness behind this rich, fragrant vegetable stew other than,
vegetables, bell pepper (rodo), onion, locust beans (iru), dried or smocked
fish, pomo and meat.

6. Edikangikong:
The dry leafy vegetable soup is a delicacy
from, Cross River region of Nigeria. This meal is rich in iron because the

It is a very traditional soup
similar to the bitterleaf soup but cooked with Ora leaves. Ora (Oha) Soup is special because this rich and nutritious soup
is usually prepared with the leaves of the African Pterocarpus soyauxii
/Pterocarpus mildbraedi tree, known traditionally as Ora leaf . The tender ora leaves used in preparing this soup recipe are seasonal.
