Moringa Soup


Saleum Steemians ๐Ÿ‘

How's your weekend? Here come another Friday and I thank to my wife who once again enjoying her day at the kitchen to prepare meals for My Father and I๐Ÿ˜Š.

I heard My Father told her few days ago about the moringa leaves that grows in our small front yard and she said "so I will make the soup later". Right before I left for Friday Pray at the mosque, she asked me to cut some branches.

the miracle plant grows nicely


When I got back from the mosque 2 hours later, my wife still busy separating the round leaf from its branches๐Ÿ˜ฏ she refused my help though. The veggies seller stops by so late yesterday, that's the only reason I know why she picks the leaves till we have enough for 2 days meals.

for 2 days in a row, we have moringa soup๐Ÿ˜‚ and we don't mind it because it's delicious


To prevent the bitter taste of the leaves, cici stir-fry the carrot and sweet corn with sliced chili, onion and ginger before adding some coconut milk till the carrot and sweetcorn soft enough for my toothless father. A minute before she turn off the fire, she add the moringa leaves into the soup and splash some salt to the taste.

That was amazing! No bitter taste at all๐Ÿ˜€. We ate the soup with hot rice and spicy fried anchovies yesterday. She made another soup today and this time she serves it with "Manok Teutumeh" aka Chicken breast gravy soup.

I didn't see the process, but she said she didn't use the coconut milk but only candlenut to make it thicker than common soup.


That's it.. that's our menu for friday and saturday (right when I type this, we're ready to have our lunch on saturday๐Ÿ˜†). Easy recipe to prepare according to my wife, delicious and healthy foods for My Father and I๐Ÿ˜

You finally managed to post something again this week.. it must be hard to create a post like this when the app still "acting up" in a bad internet connection stage ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ sorry about the 2 days in a row moringa soup my dear ๐Ÿ˜† it's just an anticipation in case Kang Jawir not shows up and I have no money to buy some veggies too๐Ÿ˜ and I forgot to buy garlic too.. gotta wait till tuesday๐Ÿ˜‰

I don't mind to eat this soup everyday too my dear ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ why would you need to buy garlic๐Ÿ˜‰ when you are a garlic.

How lucky we are.. we have it raw and fresh while in the other side of the world, they need to make it as capsule and buy it quite pricey

Lucky indeed, ๐Ÿ€ itโ€™s the next big thing over in the west... So full of nutrition and very fast growing tree also..

I can make a pretty nice drumstick curry too..

I should try to get a small plantation started here to cash in on the health craze... ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Howโ€™s the coffee shop going ? Started to rain there too ?

Just last week the winds and rains came my favorite season here..

Salam bagimu.

Hey whatโ€™s up @dipoabasch? These repeat visits by you sure are nice, Fridays are better already.

Good to see you again, have a nice weekend. Big hug to the Mrs. from the โ€˜Days.

Hello there @dandays ๐Ÿ˜‰ it's hard to be on steemit everyday, so I make a visit whenever I have time. I used to post about my wife cooking stories before and just find it easy to do recently๐Ÿ˜….

I hope you have a wonderful life too, I think that she'll be around the #fff post later, because she's not so into the steemmonsters anymore.

Hey @dipoabasch, here is a bit BEER for you. Enjoy it!

How cool is that!! Just go right outside and grab some healthy leaves to throw in a delicious soup. If a dish is good, why not have it multiple days in a row right? Thanks for bringing this delicious healthy soup to the Food Fight Arena

ย  ยท ย 5 years agoย 

Yeah right @jlsplatts... I could have this kinda soup everyday in a week for sure ๐Ÿ˜‚ but I hate it if I have to pluck each leaf from the branches.. it tooks forever for me. Thank you

ย  ยท ย 5 years agoย 

Hi @dipoabasch, wonderful soup, I always add my fresh herbs at the very end of cooking. Healthier that way, and much more flavorful. Nice going cici.

Thank you @farm-mom ๐Ÿ˜‰ this one is really tricky, she was sauted it with shrimps few weeks ago and it turn to bitter taste because she forgot to turn off the heat.. my sister was making soup with this leaf too.. and she got her soup green and bitter because she didn't know when to add the leaf.

ย  ยท ย 5 years agoย 

Nothing like being able to go into the yard and pick some of the ingredients necessary to make this wonderful soup.
When my wife makes a good dish, I can eat it for several days until it is gone.

Lol @thebigweeds ... I depend on my wife mood while she's at the kitchen, she won't cook the same ingredients for two day in a row except I request the same menu. This moringa soup, she add spinach and carrot on friday and then carrit and sweetcorn on saturday.. I think she just uses my nice attitude on eating whatever she cooks.
