Bitterleaf Soup (Ofe Onugbu)

How to Make It

1. 1

   Wash bitter leaf thoroughly to remove bitterness — squeeze and rinse multiple times until the water runs clear.

   Tip: Under-washed bitter leaf will make the soup unpleasantly bitter.
2. 2

   Cook assorted meats until tender. Boil cocoyam until soft and pound smooth.

3. 3

   Add cocoyam paste to meat stock in bits. Add palm oil, pepper, ogiri, and crayfish. Simmer 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Add washed bitter leaf. Cook 10 minutes until soup thickens. Serve with fufu or pounded yam.
