I'm always so excited to cook this soup because it's not difficult to make, doesn't take time at all (preparation time is 30 minutes maximum) and is super tasty 😋
Ingredients used are;
3 cups of washed and chopped Okra vegetables.
3 scotch bonnet peppers.
1/4 cup of palm oil.
1 cup of ground wild mango seed( botanical name is Irvingia gabonensis).
2 small onion bulbs.
Water.
Salt to taste.
Preparation time: 30 minutes.
I pour 1 litre of water into the pot.
And then chop my scotch bonnet peppers into tiny bits.
I add the chopped peppers into the pot of water.
Then I pour my oil into the combo.
And place my pot on the fire.
Then I chop my onion bulbs into tiny bits as well.
Then I add them to the pot on the fire.
Then I allow all the ingredients to boil homogenously.
Then I add salt to taste.
And Cook for about 5 minutes more.
Then I add my ground wild Mango seeds to the pot.
It becomes slimy as it boils.
After another 5 minutes, I add my chopped Okra vegetables (most times when I've had a tough day at work and I want to prepare this soup, I stop over at the market to buy the Okra vegetables and have them properly washed and chopped, in the market. Let's just say this saves me a lot of stress).
Cook for 10 minutes.
Here it is! Ready to be feasted on.
I'm eating it with Fufu, a meal prepared solely from fermented cassava. We call it swallow because you don't chew, you actually swallow each Fufu bolus with the slimy okra soup acting as a lubricant.
The taste is simply superb.
