S16-W2 “My own contest topic": My recipe to make Nigerian native Ofor soup 😋

Greetings beautiful people and welcome to my blog. Today am writing a beautiful recipe to make the Nigeria Native Ofor soup. You are gonna love it as you join me on this beautiful journey.

These are the ingredients for my soup recipe…

• Red oil
• Grinded Ofor thickener
• Stock fish
• Dry fish
• uziza leaves
• Salt
• Maggi
• Smoked fish
• Ice fish
• Meat
• Cow skin
• Fresh pepper and crayfish

THE COOKING PROCEDURE

I had to wash and prepare my ingredients. Washed the fish and meat and stock fish, dry fish and bring them to boil. When they are boiled. I poured it out on a bowl.

Then I proceeded to pour the meat stock into the pot and added oil to it and allow it to boil. Then I put the Ofor thickener into to a plate and mixed it with water and poured into the boiling oil in the pot and allow to thicken.

When it had thickned to an extent I want, I proceeded to add the grinded pepper and crayfish and allowed it to boil for a while.

I added my periwinkle and uziza leaves and stirred it and allowed to boil for a while.

The uziza leaves are very medicinal and gives a beautiful aroma and color to the food. When it has boiled a while, I bring the food down and it ready to me eaten.
