Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cook all the meat you’re going to use, with some salt, pepper, onion, and bouillon powder until it becomes tender.
Chop the spinach and set aside.
If using whole ogbono seeds, grind it using a mortar and pestle set or a coffee grinder. Skip if using pre-ground seeds.
When the assorted meats are ready, drain the stock out but save some of the stock so you can use it to flavor the ogbono soup. - 2
In another pot, add some palm oil on low heat and add the ogbono seeds to it.
Mix in the ogbono seeds and break any lumps with a serving spoon. Stir until it’s thoroughly coated.
Add the stock from the cooked meats and stir
Add water and stir until you reach your desired thickness.
Bring to a boil, then set to low heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring intermittently. - 3
Add in the meats, bouillon powder, cayenne pepper, crayfish.
Taste for salt and add some if needed.
If it becomes too thick, add a little more water.
Let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the chopped spinach and let simmer on low for about 2 more minutes.
Your ogbono soup is ready to serve! - 4
Note
You can substitute spinach with pumpkin leaves, collard greens or bitter leaf, or leave out the vegetables entirely if you wish.
When you add the ogbono to the palm oil, make sure it’s on low heat and watch it carefully so it does not burn.

I love food lol but my favorite soup of all, is this beautiful palm nut soup. The flavor of the palm nut is indescribable and delicious 😋! The palm tree is just amazing that you can get wine from it and it’s no low class wine either! Palm oil is a must for a lot of Igbo dishes and of course the palm nut soup 🍜 is time consuming but so worth it ! ifuchi -

Okro soup with ogbono Okro soup with ogbono
#Ashlab.Okro soup has been one of the most easiest and quickest soup to prepare.some argue that okro takes a lot of time and energy to make,but for me I used the blender method to blend my okro and ogbonno due to the fact that I don’t like the smell that comes from ogbonno,So blending it together with the okro removes the smell and also gives it a nice taste.It’s known as miyan kubewa in Hausa.I love everything about okro soup mixed with ogbonno,especially that part of draw,which makes it fun while eating. Blending your belly pepper,chilly pepper with the garlic,onions and cray fish gives the paste a nice aroma and also taste.Least I forget I used the processed okro because I couldn’t get the fresh okro here .You can cut spinach and add to your okro soup.Don’t forget to wash your hands before you start cooking and also wash all the veggies that needs to be washed.

Chicken noodle soup Chicken noodle soup
This soup warms the soul! We've had some sick tummies around my house and this is the perfect light, yet filling meal. I think browning the butter before you saute the vegetables gives this soup a rich, deeper finish that makes it stand out! I cook for a very large family, you may need to half this recipe.
