According to the research I did back then in my high School about sitting Nigerian traditional food and culture, afang soup was among the list of soup I researched on. So afang soup has it root from the Efik and Ibibio people. Afang soup is believed to have come from the epic kingdom where it was saved as delicacy to guest and royalty the name afang comes from the Efik language meaning spinach or leafy green vegetable. Subsequently, afang spread throughout Nigeria and became a very popular food it can be eaten with any kind of swallow but most preferred is fufu.
