White Okra Soup

We Nigerians love our soups and the White or Native Okra soup is another popular Nigerian soup that can be eaten with eba, amala, fufu, pounded yam and other swallow. Sometimes I just love to drink the soup. Though I do not make it often, I do enjoy this dish especially when the okras are still crispy and there’s a good amount of pepper in it.

 Unlike the Red okra soup, the White okra soup also known as “Native Okra” soup is made without any palm oil or stew, so it is a healthier variation and also has a different taste. It is really easy to make and you can put any protein of your choice.My mum makes a tasty version of this soup and I got my recipe from her. It’s a really easy and quick soup to make especially if you’re tired and are looking to spend less time in the kitchen but still create something tasty, this recipe will come in handy. Enjoy
