Another sure way to avoid lumps from the Ede is to pour the oil when you have pound to some extent. I do this when am sure the Ede is smooth, kind of mixing in the mortar... #IgboWife
Well done Momma.

Very correct! I mix palm oil too to the ede as I pound.

Well done floraEC nice one.

Oha cooked with akwu is delicious with unique taste. Sometimes I use akwu for bitterleaf soup as the spirit leads but oha soup,even if I'm too lazy or no akwu in the market I'll postpone it till I buy akwu

You try to always use akwu o! Laziness to pound won't allow me so I make do with regular oil

PatKing:


Yes ma'am.
But you must specify when buying for soup, it is smaller and draws, not Powdery like the regular one for eating.
Always buy from igbo women who sell stuffs on the market.

Expert! my brother see road wella thumbs up our wife.

Ofe okazi na akpurakpu egusi (okazi soup with moulded egusi)
This soup is native to igbos of abia origin.
Ingredients:
Beef, kpomo, okporoko, dry fish, crayfish,
Achi(100naira worth)
Egusi 3 cups
Osu 50naira
Okazi 200 naira worth, thinly sliced.
Achara (optional) 200 naira worth
Oil, salt, knorr cubes
Method:
1. Boil the okporoko, kpomo, beef etc till tender
2. For the moulded egusi, i used 2 cups out of the blended egusi mixed with the osu, little maggi and little pepper. Put d mixture in a tray and mould, add little warm water at a time till oil starts coming out and d consistency is like a dough. Cut into tiny flattened bits and put in avpot of boiling water. Cook for like 20mins and set aside.
3. In your meat stock, add oil, salt and seasoning cube.
4. Mix your achi, remaining egusi, dry pepper and crayfish in a bowl and gradually sprinkle this into the boiling stock. In this way, it wont form lumps.
5. Check the consistency and add water if necessary( shouldn’t Be As Thick As That Of Bitterleaf Soup).
6. Add the achara and the cooked moulded egusi. Cook for 5mins
7. Add the shreaded okazi, 2mins and the soup is ready.
8. You can add perinwinkle if you wish when you are adding achara.
NB:
Achi thickens as it's cooling down so be careful with the consistency while its cooking.
My measurement is for a big pot of soup for refrigerating.

O boy! Please send me address biko

Ok..let me give my own recipe for Ofe Owerri.

Ingredients :
-Meat: make sure you buy an assortment of meat, goat meat, shaki, cowleg, etc
Okporoko (stockfish)
Ogiri
Ede (red type)
Dried Fish, some people also add smoked fish
Periwinkle (optional)
Knorr cube
Palm oil
Crayfish
Fresh Red pepper
Uziza(sliced)
Okazi (sliced)
Salt

Wash and Boil the meat and season properly. (Note that we don't use onions for this soup)
Peel the Ede red, wash and slice in bits to ensure it cooks quickly then add to the meat . This will be monitored and brought out when its cooked then Pound in mortar and set aside.
Also wash the okporoko and dried fish then keep aside. It will be added to the soup when all them meat have cooked to a large extent.

Once your assorted meat and stockfish has cooked reasonably, add the ground crayfish and pepper to the boiling mix. Add palm oil, then Ogiri(I dissolve the ogiri with some of the meat stock before pouring into the soup). Ensure it boils very well so the oil would have mixed properly with the water then add the pounded Ede (cut it in little bits ). I try not to make mine very thick. Just slightly. taste for salt to ensure the Ogiri did not throw the taste overboard.

Next add the sliced Uziza leaves and allow to boil for like 3-5mins. Soon enough, you will start perceiving the lovely uziza aroma. Lastly I add sliced Okazi and allow it cook for a while. ( some people use Ugu leaves in place of Okazi)

Note that this soup has to have a lot of "passengers" that is why it is said to be expensive. *singing * Onye na enweghi ego o ji eri Ofe Owerri?

My Ofe Owerri is ready! Wish I had pics to back it up. (Too lazy this weekend to cook fresh soup. We go dey manage the one wey dey biko)

Searched the net and saw these pics . They used Ugu leaves.

Oh God! This soup can make one bankrupt
