Bitter leaf and water leaf soup is one of the Soups I had growing up.
The taste and texture of this soup is just my thrill. For people who don't like the conventional Vegetable soup usually love this soup. It's eazy to make, very healthy and so delish.
The soup goes well with any swallow of your choice and taste always get people asking for more. So I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I enjoyed sharing it.
