Okro Soup

Okro Soup (also spelled Okra Soup) is a widely loved Nigerian dish made from sliced okra pods, which give it a slimy and stretchy texture. It’s typically cooked with palm oil, onions, pepper, crayfish, and a variety of proteins like meat, stockfish, and dried fish. Leafy vegetables such as ugu (pumpkin leaves) or bitterleaf are often added for extra flavor and nutrition. Okro Soup is fast to prepare and usually served with swallows like eba, fufu, or pounded yam.
