Steps

1

Wash beans and remove shaft, put in a pot, add potash and put on the stove allow for like 20 min and add pepper blend+ spices and allow to boil then whisk the soup
2

On the other hand boil chicken with stock fish, add iru, seasoning and allow for 15 min. You then add to the above soup and allow for 10-15 min. You then thicken your soup with with the dried okro and allow for some couple of minutes (normally ogbonno is being used for gbegiri but I decided to used dry okro and it went on perfect).

Add red oil let it simmer and serve with semo, eba, tuwo or even white rice. So delicious 😋
