Bitterleaf Soup

Description

Bitterleaf Soup, or Ofe Onugbu, is a savory and nutrient-rich West African dish enjoyed for its bold, earthy flavors. Made with tender cuts of meat, dried fish, and hearty vegetables, this soup balances the slight bitterness of bitterleaf with a thick, flavorful broth. It’s typically served with pounded yam, fufu, or rice, making it a comforting meal that’s perfect for family gatherings.

Bitterleaf (washed thoroughly to reduce bitterness), assorted meat (such as beef, goat, or tripe), dried fish or smoked fish, cocoyam paste (as a thickener), palm oil, crayfish, seasoning cubes, salt, and pepper. Optional: Serve with pounded yam, fufu, or rice.
