First off, forget everything you think you know about soup. This isn’t your grandma’s chicken noodle. We’re talking about Oha Soup, the heavyweight champion of soups straight from the heart of Igboland, and it’s about to throw your culinary expectations out the window.
Here’s what you need to make magic happen in your kitchen – the lineup is impressive:
– Beef (12 pieces, because this is a soup, not a juice)
– Ponmo (8 Pieces, get the good stuff, no cheating)
– Palm oil (½ cup – keep it authentic)
– Ogiri isi (1 tablespoon – optional, but if you want the real deal, skip it)
– ONions(up to 2 optional, but if you want the real deal, skip it)
– Cameroon pepper (½ tablespoon, for that warm kick)
– Yellow and red scotch bonnet peppers (8 pieces, because life needs spice)
– Ground crayfish (2 heaping tablespoons – it’s the secret weapon)
– Shrimp seasoning (Unleash the flavor)
– Beef seasoning cubes (4 of them – because beef is king)
– Stock fish (The treasure of the seas)
– Cocoyam (15 pieces, for that velvety thickness)
– Oha leaves (2½ bunches, the star of the show)
– Uziza leaves (10-12, because we don’t do average here)
– Dried fish (2, because one is just not enough)
Now, here’s how we bring the powerhouse to the table:
Step 1: Manhandle that beef and ponmo into submission by cooking them until they’re begging for mercy.
Step 2: Introduce your palm oil to the heat gently, no fire brigade necessary.
Step 3: If you’re a real one, you’ll add that Ogiri isi now. But hey, it’s your world.
Step 4: Turn up the heat with Cameroon pepper, scotch bonnets, and the godfather – ground crayfish.
Step 5: Seasoning time, shrimp and beef cubes, make it rain flavor!
Step 6: Stock fish, your time to shine. Get in the pool with the beef and make friends.
Step 7: Cocoyam’s next. Boil and pound it until it’s smoother than your best pickup line.
Step 8: Now, add those Oha leaves like you’re sprinkling gold flakes. Delicate. Respectful.
Step 9: Uziza leaves, your final flourish. The crescendo of greenery.
Step 10: Bring in your dried fish like the closing act of an epic opera.
