    TODAY'S RECIPE - Nigerian Bitterleaf Soup Empty TODAY'S RECIPE - Nigerian Bitterleaf Soup

    Bitterleaf soup is one of the most traditional soups in Nigeria. It is native to the Igbos of Eastern Nigeria.Bitterleaf soup is served together with Cassava fufu, pounded yam, eba, and Amala.


    The name is quite misleading in that a well prepared Bitterleaf Soup should not have even the faintest bitterness. This is achieved by washing and squeezing the bitter leaves (and changing the water at intervals) till all traces of bitterness has been washed off.

    One will be deemed a bad cook if his/her Bitterleaf soup tastes bitter!

    Ingredients include;
    Washed and squeezed bitterleaf - A handful
    Cocoyam – 10 small corms
    Red Palm Oil – 2 cooking spoons (You may need a bit more)
    Assorted Beef – Includes best cut, shaki (cow tripe)
    Assorted Fish – Dry Fish and Stock Fish
    Pepper, Salt and Ground Crayfish (to taste)
    Seasoning – 3 Maggi or Knorr cubes
    Traditional Seasoning: Iru or Ogiri - 1 teaspoon
