Greetings to everyone in the community, I hope the new week is going smoothly?...ok, so I'll be talking about the food ingredients and recipes on how it is prepared. It's going to be one of them and Which is the Nigerian Afang soup.

The Nigerian afang soup is one of the popular delicacies and a very delicious dish. It is a native dish mostly eaten in the Southern part of Nigeria.

People have their different ways of preparing the Afang soup, maybe based on how they were taught or how they choose to cook to their own taste, but at the end of the day nothing changes it's still Afang soup you'd see and eat.

I'm going to show y'all how I prepare mine in an easy way and the popular method, all you need to prepare this dish is just your ingredients, pot and a cooker.

• Maggi seasoning
• Smoked or fresh fish

3. Wash the leaves and and change the water. Use your hands to wash them thoroughly as you add clean water.

4. Dry the leaves to remove all the moist and water content in it.
