OKRO SOUP RECIPE
Okro soup is a very popular and delicious stew that is loved by the majority of the people, in Nigeria in particular and west Africa in general, especially if prepared well.
Okro soup share the same viscous texture with Ogbono soup and Ewedu soup.
More so, the way the okro is cut, it can be sliced across into thin or thick discs, the way I like it, chopped or grated into tiny bits or blended to a puree.
The vegetable which goes with the Okra also varies, the most commonly used is the fluted pumpkin leaf (ugu). Some people can as well use Bitterleaf, Uziza leaf, Ewedu or spinach.
The freshness and the texture of the soup are some the things that make Okro soup so appealing.
