In reply to Judith. Judith, ofe onugbu is Igbo. Obe ewuro is what the Yorubas call theirs. Both are bitter leaf soup. You should realise that different tribes have variations of the same soups and food.

In reply to claire. She listed ofor or Achi amongst the ingredients. However I don’t see it mentioned during the process. Are they necessary ingredients on the soup? If you don’t have access to them can you substitute with another ingredient in order to get the same great taste?

In reply to Mumof2. Nope, you can't use just water leaves. Also, you don't add water, once the leave is heated, it produces water.

In reply to chidimma. Please what if you fried the water leaf ?what's the difference.

By: Mumof2

Mumof2 — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 22:01:12 +0000

i really do love your recipe ma’am but i have two questions to ask
1. Is it possible to make this soup with water leaf being the only veggie?
2. While simmering the water leaf first in a separate pot, do i need to add water

In reply to vivian. Okazi is not park of edikaikong. you only use ukazi when you are making afang soup. Thanks

By: vivian

vivian — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 13:59:20 +0000

I want to make the soup and someone said that I will add ukazi leave too. I mean the grinded one is it right or wrong because the things you listed here about how to cook the soup ukazi is not included

By: Esther

In reply to Khadija. No, tomatoes are not used in cooking edikangikong soup. if you add tomatoes then you're definitely not going to be cooking edikangikong.

By: Khadija

Khadija — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 18:51:16 +0000

Hi mum, pls I have a question. Can I add fresh tomatoes in this soup (Edikaikong)?

In reply to chidimma. @ chidima, all you need do is find that effik water leaf. The leafs are tiny, those one contains little or no water. It's best for edikaikong soup

To remove excess water from your vegetable soup, you first put water leaves in the pot as you are boiling you will see a lot of water coming out, allow the water to dry then add oil, stock fish and dry fish, next is your ground pepper and crayfish before you add ugu leaves, don’t cook for long after u add ugu leaves . the only water that should be in your vegetable soup is from your meat stock and use small water to boil the meat Thanks

Nice work for the none efiks and ibibios to start enjoying this swt meal. But in the efik way of cooking edikangikong soup, there’s no ofor or achi added to it. It’s mainly vegetable leaf and waterleaf. Nice job here.

Awesome! Thanks for these tips on cooking Edikanikong soup. It is very helpful. It wasn’t my first attempt anyway, an akwa-ibom friend taught me about 13 years ago but I just gamble anytime I need to cook cos I’m no longer in touch with her. But these step-by-step procedure really helped. Thanks

Yeap, I think you have some good piece here, I must say and good job well done, But I have not seen anything on Obe Abula(Gbegiri & Ewedu Soup) I mean beans soup. most men love it but they may not mention it. I remember a day that I came back from Office and my wife served me a freshly prepared Abula Soup and Amala, I wish u could know how excited I was. cos it has long I ate the combination.
