Oha soup is a native soup, prepared and eaten by the eastern part of Nigeria. The soup is prepared with Oha leaf, a seasonal vegetable. The soup is prepared the same way Bitterleaf soup is prepared, the only difference is the Oha leaf. The Oha leaf grows only during the dry season

Put it in a pot, boil it until it's tender.

Remove the peels and with the aid of a mortal and pestle, pound it to a smooth paste.

I added the Uziza leaf on time because it's quite strong.

Stir the soup at interval so that it don't get burnt.

Cover the pot and cook the soup for a while.

Wash and cut the Oha leaf. While washing the Oha leaf, don't squeeze it so that it doesn't get bitter.

When the cocoyam lumps has dissolved perfectly, add the Oha leaf.

Do not stir the soup after adding the Oha leaf, so it doesn't get bitter.

Cook the Oha for 5minutes.

Check for salt, stir and turn off the heat.

Your delicious Oha soup is ready, you can have it with Eba, Semovita, wheat e.t.c.

I love uha soup so much especially the one prepared with cocoyam and ogiri. This shows that you really know the ingredients. The steps are easy to follow. I am currently looking for uha leaf to prepare. Where I stay,, it is scarce.
