22 Nigerian Soups That We Can’t Just Say No To

Nigerian jollof rice no doubt is a national treasure and should be cherished all the time.

11. Oha Soup

I made Ora (oha) Soup using unripe plantain as thickener. For those living outside Nigeria that can't find cocoyam and also those that avoid cocoyam for health reasons, unripe plantain is very nutritious and has a low GI which makes it good for diabetics. I used it to make bitter leaf soup earlier on http://mummysyum.com/bitterleaf-onugbu-soup-thickened-with-unripe-plantain/ You can use the same recipe but just substitute bitter leaf with oha and add the oha (and uziza if using) as the last ingredient, when the plantain purée has completely dissolved. #nigeriansoup #familyfood #igbosoup #ohasoup #africanfoods

18. Black Soup

Yaaaayyyy… Finally made the Black Soup. It's a bini delicacy, made up of a combination of 4 vegetables – bitter leaf, scent leaf, Ugwu and uziza. It can be served with any swallow of your choice. Very delicious. #damztable #blacksoup #cookingisfun #hobby

19. Abak Atama Soup

#Tastetheworld #AbakAtama is an #Efik delicacy but also enjoyed by other ethnic groups like the #Ibibios, #Igbos and even the #Yoruba’s. The name "Abak" means palm fruit extract and "Atama" is a vegetable hence the name Abak Atama is derived from a combination of the palm fruit and vegetable used in cooking it. It's mostly prepared with seafood like shrimps, however, you can use beef in the preparation also. This Efik cuisine is richly nutritious, belly-warming and the recipe is very simple and easy to follow.

22. Miyan Zogale

MIYAN ZOGALE. There was a time when I would say; "O this tribe cooks better than that tribe bla bla bla…" When I became a food blogger I became more open minded and started experimenting with everything and anything food related and my figurative scales fell off my eyes. There is no tribe that cooks better than the other. Not Calabar, not Yoruba and not Itsekiri etc. There are culinary delights everywhere you go in this country. I am not trying to sound politically correct, I am just being plain honest. Personally I find well prepared Eforiro tastier than the acclaimed "man snatching" Edikang Ikong…well that's just my choice. I am not from either tribes. What do I mean by making this comparison? Simply put, be open minded when it comes to food. I used to look at Northern Nigeria as the part of the country with the least delicious delicacies. I am more than happy to eat my own words. Miyan Zogale showed me how stupid and myopic I was. This soup will knock your panties off your waist and twist them in nuts. Moringa leaves are so delicious. Paired with pounded yam etc Miyan Zogale is one of Nigeria's best delicacies. I am happy to say that it has become one of the soups on my kitchen's wall of fame. #NigerianFood #FoodPhotography #MiyanZogale
