Here in Nigeria, we have a culture of Cooking soups at weekends so as to run the coming week with ease. As such, l decided to cook one of my favourite soup called Atama soup.

Atagma soup is not one of the popular soup because it not easily cooked during at events and many families takes it as irregular soup.

Now let's me show you how I prepare this delicious recipe without taking much time. I believe you will like what you see.

My soup ingredients:

Atagma leaf
Fish
Stock fish
Periwinkle
Crayfish
Salt
Pepper
Onion
Goat meat
Palm fruit

Cooking steps are as follows:

The first thing I did was to wash the palm fruit into a clean put and then put on fire. I allow it to cook for like 10 minutes till it become soft for pounding.

Pour the palm fruit into a mounter and pound it was the next thing I did, followed by adding hot water to separate the chaff from the kernel after pounding.

Turn out the extract to a seive to separate paste from the chaff. The Abak is done, so I set it aside.

In another clean pot, I prepared meat, stock fish and fish into it and other ingredients. I covered the pot and put on fire, letting it Steam for some times.

After a while, I tested to confirm that they are soft for chewing. Added next is periwinkle and continue cooking for some minutes.

It is time to add the Abak paste in the pot.The abak is actually an extract of palm oil with water extracted from palm fruit, as I said earlier. It plays both as oil and water for the soup.

I added salt and some seasoning cubes and crayfish then covered the pot and cooked for some minutes so that water will boil and the ingredients will make the soup tasty and yummy 😋.

At this point, I added my Atagma leaf and stirred. Right now the aroma in my kitchen is super. The last thing I did is bringing down the pot and dish my desirable quantity for myself and my family members.

For this particular soup, you can use garri or fufu as sallows with it. In some cases, people use white rice to enjoy the same too.

Atagma soup come with a lot of health benefits, you can try this at the comfort of your home. I would like to invite @eliany, @anasuleidy, @pandora2010 and @goodybest to participate in the Contests.
