Good day amazing people of steemwomen club. It's another beautiful opportunity to be a part of this amazing traditional cooking contest. Thanks you @event-horizon for this opportunity.

Il start by saying that Cooking is part of our very existence as humans. I've cooked alot of dishes and is still cooking. The type of dishes I make are very peculiar to my environment and sometimes I go out of my way to make food that is not familiar with my culture. I reside in owerri. Owerri is the capital of Imo state which is one of the 36 states in Nigeria. Nigeria is a country in the continent of Africa.
We have different types of traditional food we eat, some of them includes
Oha soup, bitter leaf soup, ogbono soup, egusi soup, okra soup, jollof rice and beans, dodo and etc to mention but a few. Today am going to be sharing with us one of the traditional dish which is okra soup and cassava flour as it's accompanying swallow. Okra is an edible vegetable. I choose okra soup because It's popularly consumed here and it has high nutritional value. It's very easy to prepare and cook and it's relatively cheap to make depending on the ingredients you are using to prepare it. Okra soup is used for convalescents and also to teach children how to eat because it had a slippery feel in the mouth and easily goes down the throat.
