Creative Sunday// how I made Ogbono soup

in #hive-1538504 months ago

Hello everyone, it’s another creative Sunday and I’m glad to be a part of this Sunday's edition, I made one of my favorite soups and I hope you did love it too.

INGREDIENTS

• grounded Ogbono
• vegetable (pumpkin leaves)
• cow tail
• dried stock fish
• Dried fish
• grounded pepper
• palm oil
• seasoning cubes
• okra
• Dried prawns
• salt

Step one

Firstly, the protein has to be thoroughly cooked because Ogbono soup doesn’t really take too much time to be ready, so after washing the meat (cow tail) you can use any protein of choice, so after watching the meat put in a clean pot, add some sliced onions, seasoning cubes, dried rosemary leaves, garlic and ginger and parboil until it becomes soft.

Step two

After parboiling the meat, next to do is slice or grate the okra finely, debone the fish, use hot water to wash the dried stock fish and also chop the vegetables and soak them in water to remove sand and dirts and also break out the head of the prawn and set aside.

step three

Put a reasonable amount of water in a pot, allow to get hot, then add three cooking spoons of oil, (depends on the quantity of water) cover and allow to boil, after some time add the meat, the dried fish, stock fish, prawns and dried pepper.

I normally add some water to the pepper because there is always sand at the bottom, so I filter out the pepper and rinse away the sand, then lastly add seasoning cubes and salt to taste.

Step four

Add the Ogbono and stir and allow it to cook very well, after some time the vegetables can come in and also the okra, all to cook for few minutes before taking it of the heat.

We don't have Ogbono where I'm from. What does Ogbono (by itself) tastes like?

Thanks for sharing!

Ogbono is actually gotten from wild mango, it’s slimy, personally I haven’t tasted the raw one tho, but it’s usually nice after making it as a soup

Mangoes! That's interesting. Something we have plenty of from where I'm from. But I did some reading and it seems to be from mangoes not native here. 😓 Still thanks for sharing, I learned something new today

It feels I have forgotten how to make ogbono soup as I have eaten it for long now. Watching this video makes me remember now and wish I could prepare it tonight. Lol
I need to taste this soup again.

Wow babe, soup so rich, in this economy, where are you people seeing money😂 looks delicious, thanks for sharing the making process with us.

Hello @deborah-yelemu I couldn't help but feel like this post was rushed, the same thing with your video. You went from adding oil to the pot, to the final stage of the soup getting ready, skipping a lot of process.

Same thing with the explanation too. Next time please include step by step pictures while explaining the process and also make sure your video documents every step involved in making the dish.

Okay, thanks for the correction… I would do better next time
