I once attended a seminar by an organic food activist. He asked us how much we can use to prepare a pot of soup. Some said 3000 (25 steem), while others said 5000 (41.67 steem) and still others mentioned their own amounts. The shouted and said, what will you do with such amount and quantity of soup?

He then added what of preparing a pot of soup with just 500 (4 steem). We all shouted and said "how is that even possible?" He mentioned the ingredients and we shouted: "It will not be sweet". The man told us that it is because we have killed our taste pallets with sweet tastes.

Here are the things he listed among other things: okro, Ugu, pepper, crayfish, seasoning cube, salt, oil and he list Ed the amounts.

To us it seemed Impossible but I just decided to give it a trial in my house this time.
When things are difficult, we tend to readjust.

Can you imagine that I prepared a pot of soup with 900 naira (7.5 steem) on my hand. Here are what I bought:
