RIVERS STATE NATIVE SOUP
Rivers State native soup served hot.
HOW TO COOK RIVERS STATE NATIVE SOUP
1. Wash cow leg with salt and water scrubbing thoroughly and rinsing for about 4 to 5 times. Wash well and put in the pot you’ll cook the soup.
2. Cow leg takes time to cook, you may want to cook it soft with a pressure cooker before transferring into the soup pot. Most times I add plenty onions and pepper to help soften it fast.
3. Add salt and crush in the seasoning cubes when the meat is almost done.
4. Blend onion and peppers together and set aside.
5. Add palm oil and boil for 10 minutes. Add the achi or boiled and pounded cocoyam, 1 tablespoon at a time so you don’t over thicken the soup.
6. Allow everything to boil for about 10 minutes before adding the shredded uziza leaves. Let it boil again for about 2 to 3 minutes, check for thickness and taste, you can add more salt if needed and soup is ready to be served.
7. Enjoy with garri, fufu, semolina, wheat meal, Etc.
