Is Seafood Okro soup the best soup yet? #bestsoupchallenge

Today, I want to share with you my most favorite kind of Okro soup (or Okra or Ochro or Ladies’ fingers).

.

There are different kinds of Okro soup;

  • White okro eaten with stew. This is mostly eaten by the Yorubas in Nigeria :nigeria: and neighboring West African countries
  • mixed okro (a.k.a. Ila alasepo) cooked with pepper and locust beans. This is mostly eaten by the Yorubas of Ekiti Origin and other states around them
  • Draw soup - a combination of okro, Ogbono and ugwu (pumpkin) leaves. This is mostly eaten by the Igbos of South-Eastern Nigeria
  • Seafood Okro. This is mostly eaten by those from the South-South; the riverine areas of Nigeria.

I eat every kind of Okro soup, however my most favorite is the Seafood Okro. It is an Okro soup recipe from the riverine areas of South-Eastern Nigeria (a.k.a. South-South) but has become a staple in most high-end Nigerian restaurants and is being sold at exorbitant prices because; well, it is cooked using seafood; Shrimps, Prawns, Fish of choice, Crab, etc…

It is often eaten with morsel food which some of us call ‘swallow’ as a general term since, you have to swallow it.

There are different kinds of swallow;

Wheat, Semo, Fufu, Pounded Yam, Poundo, Eba, Amala :astonished: :running_man::female_sign: :running_man::female_sign: :rofl: , I doubt one will eat Seafood Okro soup with Amala but Amala is a kind 'swallow.

Do you eat Okro? Do you have a special way of preparing Okro?

Remember; Cooking is an Art best expressed in the hands of the Artist; the cook

Do you have a smililar soup from your country prepared using seafood?

Please share with us in the comments below. Thank you :blush:

It’s looking delicious.

Is it spicy @Ewaade_3A ?

No, it is not.

Oftentimes, it is the ‘mixed okro’ that is spicy since it is made with dried chilli :hot_pepper: pepper.

So do you want to share with me your favorite soup? @NasimJ

Hello everyone thanks for the kudos but I am really interested in seeing soups from your region.

Who knows? We may find more similarities than we expect.

Thanks for tagging me @Ewaade_3A The Jareesh soup which is made of crushed wheat and Arabian spices is the one which I like the most and is usually served with the Madhbi chicken meal. It has a rich, deep, spicy flavor and a wonderful aroma. The color of this soup varies from pale yellow to dark orange depending on the type of wheat used as well as the addition of other spices.

@Ewaade_3A sorry that I was busy but I am not far from connect, about soup :stew: I like the lintel soup in the Egyptian way, where we cook lentils in water, with a few carrots, peeled tomatoes and a small onion. Yellow lentils are always used, and after cooking is complete, we beat everyone in a blender, and then we use chopped fresh garlic and a little dry coriander with a little oil and cook it for a minute Until it takes on a yellow color, and then it is added to the bowl of lentils, and with happiness and healing, we always drink it in the winter

Liebste @Ewaade_3A !!! :heart_eyes: :kissing_heart:

Oh wie wundervoll dein Beitrag ist!!! Früher habe ich immer gesagt ich mag keine Suppen, heute sehe ich das GANZ anders.

Nicht nur das, ich habe keine Lieblingssuppe… :rofl: ich habe gleich mehrere! Gerne werde ich diese mit dir und allen teilen. Bitte verzeih, dass ich dies nicht sofort machen kann, ich bin gerade sehr eingespannt (und habe auch keine Fotos von den Suppen) Aber ich vergesse dich nicht!

Sobald die Zeit es erlaubt teile ich die Suppen und sobald ich sie wieder gekocht habe füge ich auch Fotos hinzu!!

Ich bin begeistert von deinem Bericht und freue mich schon sehr auf all die Suppen aus aller Welt!

(neulich kochte ich eine Brasilianische Kürbissuppe mit Garnelen, zumindest hat der Beitrag im Fernsehen sie so genannt und sagte, es sei eine ganz besondere Festtagssuppe! Gerne würde ich diese unter den Beiträgen von Brasilien finden und mit meinem Rezept vergleichen :wink:

I am sure I know at least one person from Brazil but it is not clicking yet, hold on, let me find someone for you.

Oh found @GasparKaren who I recently connected with here, there you go, Steph,

And about having to cook, you don’t have to go through the stress.

This I have shared, I did not cook :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

@Ewaade_3A honestly Okro soup is delicious and nutritious. Unfortunately, I do not have a pix to share. I love it fresh and it is one of my favourite soups with snails or fish.
