Blanc Soup (White Soup)
Ofe Nsala known as White Soup, is an Igbo Soup mostly of Anambra people. It's called White Soup because palm oil is not used in the soup. It's my first time of cooking the soup and it tasted delicious. I love cooking Igbo soups, they are healthy and delicious. I didn't get utazi leaves in the market, so the Igbo seller advised me to use uziza leaves. It has a nice aroma when used in soup.
It's a very simple recipe and a must try.
Ingredients:
1 cat fish (cut into 3 pieces)
1 slice of fresh yam (cut into cubes)
1 tsp uziza seeds
1 scotch bonnet
1/4 cup crayfish
2 handfuls uziza leaves
1/2 tsp Ogiri (daddà wa)
2 stock cubes
Salt to taste
Method
Place a medium pot on the fire. Add the fish, yam cubes and water to almost cover the fish. Cook till the yam cubes are cooked. Pick out the cooked yam with a fork and pound in a mortar or blend in a blender with some warm water to make a paste.
Grind the uziza leaves, uziza seeds, scotch bonnet, crayfish and Ogiri in a mortar. Add to the pot of the fish and stir. Allow to cook for minutes. Then add the yam paste that you have blended or grind in the mortar. Stir to thicken the soup. Cook on low flame.
