The story behind this soup goes like this..... 👇

So my younger sister, the baby of the house called that she's coming home this weekend. She personally requested that I make her Bitterleaf soup the way I had made the one she are the last time she visited 😂😂as a big bro concern and a chef, I" kuku" obliged and because of my busy schedule this week, I had to make it yesterday being Thursday then packed inside the freezer.

PS: if you haven't used uziza seed for your Bitterleaf soup before, you should try it. It takes the soup to another level 😍😍
