We will be sharing the recipe on how to make one of the most famous eastern soups called Oha soup or Ofe Oha.

Procedure

  • Pour protein of choice, stock fish, dry fish, ogili, red oil, and coco yam in a pot.
  • Add your desired stock cubes and salt to taste
  • Place on medium heat and allow to cook for 15-30 minutes, depending on the tendency of the protein.
  • Take out all the boiled coco yam from the pot without the stock, then mash into a smooth paste.
  • Add mashed coco yam back in the pot and allow to dissolve into the soup. It might look lumpy, in which case you can use your cooking spoon to mash the dissolve the coco-yam into a fine paste.
