GREETINGS

Good evening, my fellow steemit friends. Happy New Year to you all. I welcome you all to a wonderful and prosperous new week. In my article today, I will be sharing my food dairy with you all.

Introduction

My Delicious Bitterleaf Soup with Garri

It was around 3pm in the afternoon, I was back from school. I was feeling tired and exhausted. I remembered I didn't eat before leaving for school. I started thinking of what to cook. Boom, my favorite soup came into my mind. My favorite soup is Bitterleaf soup. I went to a nearby POS shop, withdraw some money and I was heading to the market.

I began buying. I bought a little kerosene I will use to cook. I later went ahead to buy my soup ingredients. I bought garri as well and I was headed home.

How I Prepared My Delicious Bitterleaf Soup

When I got home, I poured out everything I bought. Some of the soup items I bought were;

• Melon
• Waterleaf
• Kpomo (also known as Kanda)
• Pepper
• Crayfish
• Periwinkle
• Palm oil
• Onions
• Onga Seasonings
• Bitter leaf, etc.

My soup ingredient

I began my cooking,

• First; I poured my waterleaf into a bowl full of water. I washed it thoroughly. I brought out my tray, put my waterleaf in there and sliced it. Before slicing my waterleaf, I boiled water for garri and I made my garri.

After I was done with that, I poured my sliced waterleaf into a pot and cook it on fire. While on fire, I cut my Kpomo into smaller pieces and washed them clean. I poured my Kpomo into my waterleaf on fire, added some seasoning, pour in my pounded crayfish, covered my pot and left it to boil on fire.

After sometimes, I poured in my washed Periwinkle and allow to boil for sometime. I later poured in my melon and put in some sliced onions at the same time and I allowed it to boil as well.

• Lastly, after my melon boiled for sometime, I added my bitter leaf and red oil and I stirred it well. Boom, my delicious Bitterleaf Soup is ready. I dished it into a plate, cut my garri and served myself.
