My mum makes leek and potato soup all the time, I adapted her recipe, adding parsnips because we had some left in the fridge.

Atama Vegetable Soup
#OldSchoolThis Atama soup recipe is #OldSchool just the way my GrandMa aka Nne taught my Mom and eventually she taught me before she passed in 2010. 😏Making this soup today got me really emotional, because anytime we visited her place in the village, she would have prepared this Atama soup with the softest fufu for us.😊😉Her fufu making skills were second to none and because of it,I don't eat fufu again because its not like my Grandma's.😌I must say that this method and recipe of making Atama soup is very different from the Abak soup , and it agrees very well with a lot of peoples stomach.So lemme share with you all my GrandMa's special Atama soup recipe just the way we Anang people make it in the #oldschool way.😁😆😀

Fresh okro and ugu soup
This is a quick and easy traditional dish. Growing up in a typical igbo home, my mum had a garden where she grew a lot of fresh vegetables and if she wanted to make this soup, it was always so crisp and fresh cos the vegetables came straight from her garden to her cooking pot. Too healthy for words.


Akwukworo Oho (Ora soup)
I am from Umuebere Nkuma, Eluama, Isuikwuato of Abia State.Akwukworo Oho (A.K.A, Ora leaves) is our staple local delicacy. It is such a staple that there must be at least, one ora tree in every compound. I was told that back in the day, no one sold the leaf.I learnt the real name of this vegetable the hard (read funny) way.So, my grand mother sends my cousin and I to go get her ora leaves (forgetting to tell us the local name). We walked all through the lenghth and breadth of Umuebere Nkuma, asking people for 'Ora'. Even the people who had it said that they didn't. Thank goodness for another 'Tansip' (township) person who overheard our quest and graciously helped out.I learnt how to make this soup that day, under the tutelage of my grand mother, my mum and two aunties.

Banga soup
For this rep your state challenge, I'll be repping Delta State. I'm originally from Imo state but as someone who spent all her childhood in Warri, Delta State, I think I'm more than qualified to rep Delta.And I have chosen my favourite soup of all time - Banga soup!!! Banga soup is a type of palm fruit soup native to the Deltans of Southern Nigeria. It's traditionally served with starch but you can serve it with any swallow of your choice.


Salt Trick Ewedu Soup
The purpose of this recipe is to highlight the fact that salt should be added last to all vegetable soup because adding earlier shrinks the vegy and lessens it's green colour

Beau's Fisherman soup
#LagosState #CentreOfExcellenceThis version of fisherman soup just came to me based on the ingredients in my kitchen and omg 😀😁 it tastes better than any Fisher man soup I have ever had.Fisherman soup is just a slightly thick but light brot with the choicest catch of the day like fish, water snails, prawns, perwinkles, osyer, etc infsct that is where it get its name Fisherman soup from.It was easy, tasty and super delicious. And all the seafood in it was thoroughly washed with lime to take away that smell that makes some people dread Fisherman soup.Am delighted to share this recipe with you and hope you find it equally delish.#LagosState #CentreOfExcellence.
