Nigerian ogbono soup

The method in this recipe is very easy

1. First you have to wash your stock fish and your fresh fish, put it in a pot and add water. Add your seasoning cubes and salt then put the pot on fire and allow it to boil for 10 mins.

   

2. In a stainless plate, pour your grounded bush mango seeds (ogbono) and add enough palm oil to it and mix them together until it is properly mixed with the palm oil.

   

   

3. Here, we are going to melt the already mixed bush mango seeds (ogbono). You will place the stainless plate that you used to mix the bush mango seeds (ogbono) and palm oil beside or on top the pot that you're using to boil the fresh fish and stock fish so the heat from the boiling pot can melt the bush mango seed (ogbono) and turn it into a paste. (This is to ensure that your ogbono doesn't develop seeds when you put it inside the pot)

4. Now bring down the melted bush mango seed (ogbono) add your already blended onion and pepper into boiling the pot of fish (you can remove your fresh fish so it doesn't scatter inside the soup) Add your melted bush mango seeds (ogbono) and allow to boil for 10 mins again.

5. Add your sliced sorowisa (Uziza leaves) and fresh fish (if you removed it before) then allow to boil for another 5 mins.

6. Your soup is ready.
