Rebecca Ayers well done for always getting it right. ❤ I am hopeful that with time, Nigerian food ingredients will become more available everywhere there are even a few Nigerians. I say this because about 10 years ago we could not buy a single Nigerian ingredient here but today, even regular supermarkets stock some of them. Keep it up preparing these.

This is how to cook good bitter leaf soup. Your youtube on bitter leaf soup is the best I have seen. You can also use corn flour and corn starch make it as if you are doing semo. Use it as thicklng and it appears as if you use Coco yam. Bitter leaf is Igbo soup mainly from Anambra state. I started cooking bitter leaf soup when I was 10 years old.

Thanks a lot. I have bitter leaf in my compound but always buy from the market anytime I want to prepare Anambra long bitter leaf because I like it so much but didn't know how to wash it without it coming out in pieces. But today I decided to google it out that's how I located your channel and I learned wisdom.thanks and God bless 🙏 your channel in Jesus name amen.

That was a great video. To be honest with you guys, there was a saying that one man's food could be another man's poison. Also, our taste buds varied when we taste stuff. What you like, your kids might not like it. E.TC. Why I said this was the arguement of type of meat to use or not. The old fashion way of bitter leaf soup with type of meat was what mrs. Flo used. But to be honest guys, you can use chicken, and Turkey meat to cook. I promised you, it will come out great cos I am a good cook and I used them to prepare my bitter leaf soup. But for the onion?? Capital No to my bitter leaf soup. Thanks.

Vicky please remind me exactly where you live in Europe. All these ingredients are available in the major cities of Europe where lots of Africans and South Americans live. Cod, cocoyam. Ogiri will be a hard one to find because it is very traditional. I have successfully used Quaker Oats as alternative to cocoyam in this soup. Watch this video to see how I used it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/it1hjc11q7DKcYE.html For bitterleaf, you will mostly find dry ones outside Nigeria. I soften it first using this process before adding it to the soup: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9GDl7eBx77Sk4k.html

@nwakaegookeke445 4 жыл бұрын

The recipe is frozen in time and is not elastic with modifications. Onugbu soup is elevated highly among its enthusiasts :anything short of the original recipe is sacrilege. Diaspora are forgiven because of dearth of some ingredients. If you use iru and adhere to the correct method you'll get something nice but different.
