Nigerian bitter leaf soup is a very common vegetable soup made with a thickener (cocoyam); this delicious yummy soup is usually prepared with goat meat, stockfish, dried fish and a traditional spice called Ogidi.

Cocoyam is a special ingredient in bitter leaf soup, it serves as a very good thickener for this soup and not just that, but adds volume and earthy aroma to the soup; however, other thickeners such as Achi, Ofor, Ukpor and Egusi can be used to thicken this bitter leaf soup.
You can enjoy this delicious bitter leaf soup as lunch or dinner

See how I make my bitter leaf soup with cocoyam in this video.
