My First attempt in preparing Oha Soup (Nigerian delicacy)
@Successjoh in food, this my first time to participate in this community food diary show, I hope I am welcome in here
with you all.

Oha Soup is a special delicacy in the eastern part of Nigeria. It is one of those native Igbo soups that you always wish for more after a taste. so you can understand why I love their native soup.

INGREDIENTS

• Beef, Stock fish and Smoked fish

• Palm oil,Onions and crayfish

• Seasonings (Maggi and pepper 🌶️)

• Cocoyam ( to make the soup tick)
• Oha leaves
• Uziza leaves
• Salt
• Water/Stock etc.
• Cocoyam or Achi ( Soup Thickeners)
• Oha leaves (cut using a knife or shredding with your fingers)
• Uziza leaves (chopped)
• Seasonings
• Salt
• Water/Stock

Mode of Preparation: This may not be the perfect way of preparing it but like I said, I am a novice in Oha preparation;

The first thing I did was to put the meat and stock fish into the pot, I added seasoning and onions, and allowed it simmer for 5 minutes, then I added little water, covered the pot and and allowed it for some time.

I added cocoyam while boiling the meat so it would save time. After a few minutes I removed the cocoyam and pounded in a mortar.

I then introduced palm oil and tenderly allowed the soup to boil for about ten minutes.

1• I further added grounded crayfish, grounded pepper, salt and waited for another period of seven minutes.

2• It was now time to add the pounded cocoyam after which I waited just for a brief interval.

3• I then added Oziza first (Oziza leaves are stronger than Oha leaves), then I added the Oha leaves.

4• At this point I was done with the cooking process, I only had to wait for a few minutes before turning off the cooker.

5• Delicious Oha soup is ready. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you my handwork 👇

Oha soup served with my preferred swallow which is Pounded yam.
