Forgive my plating skills. There was no time
So I decided to start a weight loss journey that made me stop cooking as usual and led me to feeding on smoothies. I cheated today and decided to make this soup to satisfy my cravings.

Steps

Cut the yam into small cubes with salt and pound to perfection.
2

In a pot on heat add your palm oil, after about 30 seconds add your onions and fry for a bit then add the ogiri and stir.
3

Add your blended (tomato,pepper and onion mix) and stir for a bit. Then add your crayfish salt and maggi. Add your kpanla fish at this time.
4

After cooking for a bit, add your kpomo (I used soft ones that’s why I added at this time) if it’s the hard ones add earlier please.
5

After a few minutes, add your ugu leaves, stir and cover for a few minutes. Turn of heat and serve.
6

Can be used with Pounded yam, boiled yam, boiled unripe plantain, Eba, semovita, you name it.

I chose this method because it is quick and easy and I didn’t cook the leaves for long so it’s still fresh and crunchy the way I love it.
