Okra, Ugu, Ogbono Soup Recipe With Cooking Pictures To make this weekend

Served okra, ogbono, vegetable soup with some hot fluffy, nice and smooth eba
[Image: how%2Bto%2Bcook%2Bokra%2Bsoup%2Bwith%2Be...ogbono.jpg]
We have more than enough Nigerian soup recipes on the blog already, see more soup recipes  but, just to let us cook something a bit different this weekend, I added this delicious pot of Nigerian draw soup. Try it and you will come back for more. Trust me, there'll be left over if you are not firm on the
eaters. It didn't take long to cook as the frozen beef and snails thawed very fast under running water. Someone in my house does not eat carbohydrates for dinner but could not resist the aroma and look of this soup as he walk into the kitchen. He asked for it though begging me to make the eba very small so he doesn't gain back all the calories he managed to burn at the gym this evening. What is life without eating what we enjoy? There are people who only derive joy from eating good food, aside that, life is not so sweet, so, why treat food like it's poison. Never reject good food. Refusing food doesn't make us lose weight o, in fact experts say "eat everything but in small portions" Our bodies need every nutrient to be healthy and fit.. Soup and eba doesn't make you obesed if you eat the right portion, not when we pack one big bowl of garri with soup containing two pieces of beef, three pieces of snail, fish, 3 long kpomos etc, tell me why you nor go fat explode? Eat the right quantity, nor be say you eat till you belch like shrek the movie. Eat this soup and see how fresh you'll look.
Ingredients For This delicious Nigerian Soup

  1. 1 kg Beef
  2. salt to taste
  3. 1 medium sized onion
  4. 3 cups water to start with, if soup is thicker than you want, you can gradually add water in small quanties while soup cooks.
  5. 1/2 cup palm oil: This salad master pots do not need oil, I only add oil when I cook for the kids because they are still growing, when I cook for me and hubby alone, the food is colored with a little ground tatashe not oil.
  6. 1/2 cup ground ogbono
  7. 1 cup ground crayfish
  8. 2 cubes maggi crayfish 
  9. 1/2 cup Locust beans (dadawa) This is optional
  10. 4 cups chopped okra (okro)
  11. 1 small bunch ugu vegetables (Flutted pumpkin)
  12. A handful of uziza vegetable (Optional)
  13. 4 large Snails (Optional)
  14. 3 medium Smoked catfish
  15. 1 teaspoon ground fresh pepper. I used my pepper sauce   
  16. Hot Eba (Garri) for serving with the soup. Any fufu of choice
COOKING STEPS FOR OGBONO SOUP WITH OKRO AND UGU/UZIZA:

  1. Boil the meat with salt, seasoning and onion. While meat boils,
  2. chop the okro to your preferred sizes, chop the uziza leaves, blend or pound the ogbono until smooth and powdery, blend the crayfish too and set aside. If snails haven't been washed, wash with lime or alum, rinse very well.
  3. Add snails to boiling salted water in a separate pot, leave for about 3 minutes, remove now crunchy snails and set aside.
  4. When beef and stock fish are cooked, bring out the stockfish and add water to cover the meat a little.
  5. Add palm oil and wait till pot boils again, then add the ogbono, crayfish, locust beans seasoning cubes. Now, let these ingredients boil very well for at least 10 minutes while you stir occasionally. When ogbono is completely dissolved, check for taste, add more salt if needed. By this time, you have your soup base and can smell the sweet aroma in the kitchen. For ogbono, just like egusi soup, the longer it boils the better. Add the already boiled snails and the cooked stockfish you set aside, always wash and add the smoked fish now because you don't want it disappearing in the soup. Let soup boil some more for about 3 to 5 minutes. At this time of cooking, if you do not like vegetables, then here is when to remove from heat and serve your plain ogbono soup. Since we are cooking ogbono soup with vegetables here. 
  6. Finally add the okro, Uziza and ugu vegetables, stir, leave for just 1 minute and remove from heat. If you like your vegetables  very cooked and wilted, then wait a little longer before removing from stove.
  7. Serve with any swallow of choice, I served with eba. Pounded yam will do wonders here anyway.

Happy ogbono soup cooking!
 Soup ingredients: That's ugu and okra in bags, they have been in the fridge for over a week waiting to be cooked. Frozen beef, maggi chicken, catfish, ground crayfish, dawadawa,

 Boiling snail in a different pot so they don't overcook with the meat. When soup is done, I'll just add this snails in there. They were added into already boiling salted water to make crunchy.

 Meat is done, some water added for stock

 Snails are hardened now and very very crunchy, ready for the soup

 Palm oil

 I can't find the dry blender and okra is sitting in the food processor, oya, mortar and pestle, do the job

 Ogbono is added after the palm oil boils

 Crayfish and ogbono can be ground together and added at the same time if you like.

 My Nigerian draw soup

Smoked fish is added after all the ingredients because I like to chew my fish, I like to look at the fish when I eat, so I nor want make e scatter for pot. Yes I like to chew okra too, so I leave soome bigger ones like that for myself, you can chop your okra tiny.

 Stirring in the dry fish

[Image: 20151028_150702-1.jpg]
Soup happily boils away, but not for long so the vegetables don't pass away in the pot

 Soup for the stomach, it can be eaten with a spoon if you do not like swallows.
See that chunk of fish, if you add the fish too early, you'll not find any chunk at the end, you'll be searching like that mama in the advert looking for where her daughter in law hid the chicken in the jollof rice.

Have fun cooking and you can serve the soup with any swalllow of choice, semovita, wheat meal, Unripe plantain fufu, pounded yam, Akpu, Starch, Amala etc.
Freezing snails can make them as crunchy as carrots, these ones are that crunchy.
Enjoy!
