A lot of people's value the soup so much even me myself I am number of those that love eating Okro soup most especially when it's prepared with catfish, stockfish, goat meat or with fresh palm oil that is soul delicious. Ooh! If you have ever tasted what am discussing about you will agree to what am saying, but if you haven't you can try and eat Okro soup using the aforementioned ingredients that I just mentioned.

How to Cooked my Traditional Okro Soup:

---

There are several ways that is been used to cooked Okoro soup in my country Nigeria,some tribes love frying their okro, whereas some tribes will just add the Okro raw to their soup broth after cutting/slicing it. Some people love using fresh tomatoes to cooked their Okro, whichever methods that is been used the main point is that it's still Okro soup. However, the methods that I used in cooking this my delicious traditional food is very simple using the steps below;

Step 1: I wash and put my ingredients (fish & meat ) inside pot, where I then add Maggi salt and sliced onions inside the ingredients.

Step 2: After some minutes of boiling my ingredients, I then added ogbono and palm oil.

Step 3: I add Crayfish, papper and the rest of the remaining seasoning cube ingredients to the boiling broth, and stir it, after that I taste it to see if salt is okey.

Step 4: I then add the sliced Okro into the soup broth, with other ingredients and then I used 🥄 spoon to stir the soup for proper mixing.

Step 5: As the soup was almost getting thicker, I then add the vegetable leaf (hot leaf) and stir it up before bringing the soup down from fire.

Boil fish/canda	Obgno & Oil added

After cooking the soup I then serve it with Garri, but pounded yam is the best option for this type of food.
