Oha Soup in Minutes: My Go-To Nigerian Comfort Food

Start by boiling your favorite meats (I love using goat meat and beef) with seasoning cubes, salt, and a little onion until they're super tender. Add smoked fish and dried shrimp for that deep, savory flavor. Let them simmer with the meat for about 10 minutes. Next, thicken the soup with cocoyam paste. Just mash boiled cocoyam and stir it in until the soup gets nice and thick. Pour in some palm oil for that signature color and taste. Let it cook for a few more minutes. Finally, stir in your fresh oha leaves. Don’t cook them too long—just enough for them to wilt and release their flavor. I always serve this with a big scoop of fufu. The combo is unbeatable! If you’ve never tried Oha soup, you’re missing out on a true Nigerian classic. #OhaSoup #NigerianFood #SoupRecipe #Food #Cooking
