Then allow to cook for some time. And your soup is ready!!!

NOTE: the above method is my method,and can be faulted on many grounds.

This is one of many delicacies the Nigerian people have to offer, sometimes it's looks might be deceiving, due to the absence of oil but it's a soup that is so rich in protein, and is so easy to prepare, and of course tastes so nice.

So anytime you go close to that area, endeavour to taste it, and trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Shalom...
