✅ What is the name of the dish that you have made this week? And why did you choose this dish?

The name of the dish I made this week is oha soup, oha soup is mostly consumed by the Igbo people in my country Nigeria. Oha soup is one of my favorite soups. Although I'm from the north, I got to know about oha soup from an Igbo friend of mine.

The reason why I chose this dish is because it is the best among all the meals I prepared during this week. I chose to prepare this meal during the weekend because I was free and I could go to the market to buy all the ingredients that I would need for the soup.

✅ What is the process of making it? (Share steps with ingredients)

My Cooking Step For Oha Soup

• Step 1: Wash your meat and kpomo and put on fire, add Maggi and salt, grind some fresh pepper and onion, add some of it to the meat, cover the pot, and allow to cook.

• Step 2: While the meat is on fire, get your oha leave ready by removing it from the stick and washing it properly.

• Step 3: When the meat is almost ready, use warm water to wash the dry fish, add to the boiling meat on fire, and allow to boil for some minutes.

• Step 4: When the meat is cooked, place a clean pot on the fire, add some water, and allow it to boil then add some palm oil to the boiling water and let it boil again. mix your achi on a plate with warm water.

• Step 5: After mixing the achi, add to the boiling water on fire and stir properly, add some Maggi and salt, but the Maggi and salt should be in a small quantity because your meat stock already has Maggi and salt.

• Step 6: Allow the achi to boil until it gets thick then add your oha leave and stir, and allow to boil for some minutes.

• Step 7: Add your already cooked meat and stir properly, cover the pot and lower the flame, allow to cook for some minutes and your oha soup will be ready.
