HOW TO MAKE BITTER-LEAF SOUP (OFE-ONUGBU) - ZEELICIOUS FOODS

[@jadechelsea7929]

Hi Winnie. Thanks for everything am a Ugandan married to an igbo man and you have been a great impact in my marriage cause I have learnt literally every thing from you. This is my first time to prepare bitterleaf soup

[@amaranwaiwu682]

Good...Igbo's welcome

[@yolandamutumbi1963]

Thank you so much for the video, it really helped me, I’m a Zimbabwean married to a Nigerian my husband was surprised he thought I bought the soup, it was so yummy 😋

[@SomadinaOhaejesi]

Nice one dear; You didn't say anything about the stockfish preparation: I wash and soak with warm water to soften it; this is also important to eliminate some hard taste esp if your stockfish isn't fresh enough. It is also better to add your stockfish, smoked fish, and it's like early enough so as to cook well and also bring out the taste for an efficient result. I hope you find this helpful, well done!

[@zionbanky5415]

Oh! I just came to realize watch the video to know when to add the stock fish! I was rewinding over again before I saw this 😁 thank you Mr Felix. Well done Jenifer. So I also learnt to clean as I cook. Before now whenever I cook it's like they throw bomb in the kitchen! 😁😂

[@tracyjoseph6472]

[@christianamede6951]

Wow i followed your recipe and my soup was so good.. I never cook bitter leaf soup before but with the help of this video it came out so perfect

[@VirgoQueenBee]

I had this soup when hubby and I visited Onitsha back in March. My mother in law made it and let’s just say, I was licking the bowl as well as my fingers 🤣🤣🤣

[@zionbanky5415]

Wait o! I can see 64 thumbs down. Who on earth will thumb down such marvelous video with the painstainking effort to create perfection?? Envy! They just jealous of everything about her! They jealous her pot, jealous her spoon, her kitchen, jealous her voice, envy her beauty, envy every thing about her!

First stumbled on your IG page and I;m so excited I found you here. I'm gonna try this soup by weekend.

[@nikanika4003]

I noticed in all these videos that other Africans always criticize how the soup is made. That's it's wrong because she didn't make it the way someone else does? Or the way you make it. Who cares, stop being so judgmental and enjoy the video.

[@zionbanky5415]

EXXAAAAAAAACCCCTLLLLY!!!!!

[@Yvonti2010]

[@amakahollandholland6223]

If you had used garlic in Ofe Onugbo Ohaneze ndi Igbo would have come for you. After the onugbo, ogiri is the 2nd star of the dish.

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Emmanuel Telvin thank you!!!

[@ruthogbonna3812]

Winnie, the best is fresh bitter leaf. And you don't need to wash off all the bitterness (taste). Thats why it's bitter leaf(ofe onugbu) soup.

[@orhomediasarah2724]

[@adefunmi6123]

Looks really nice but u didn't say anything about soaking the stockfish or boiling it, same as the smoked fish cos I am sure it will still be very hard if not soaked or boiled, please explain ... You are doing a very good work though 🙌🙌

[@anenechinwe7716]

I can perceive the aroma from my home 😋plus u always make ur cooking exciting..lol my dear.😊

[@IphysKitchen]

Anene chinwe @ me too. That aroma from bitter leaf is amazing /appetising 😋 😋

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Anene chinwe thanks a lot dear!

[@modestacindy9456]

I usually add more water while blending the cocoyam in order not to wait so long for it to dissolve. It saves time and gas lols.

[@zionbanky5415]

Yes I wanna join you 😊

[@leviteschool6374]

i just cooked this yesterday same recipe it tasted great...plus i also do not like too much bitter leave

[@lindaumidy407]

For those asking of ogiri. If you can't find ogiri, use onions. But blend the onions very well.

[@debbyloveday9257]

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

[@elisan3345]

Ohhh thank you so much for explaining

[@marydavid9000]

Nice one Winnie,pls I have a request can you tell me how to wash the bitterleaf cos a friend told me I needed to boil it.and I can't find the prepared one in our local market here

[@shelterlovely]

Can I use only dry catfish, if I can't access stock fish in the country where lam

[@blessingisire3253]

Very interesting. Thank you dear

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

You are welcome!

[@praisetopaz3989]

[@amakachy998]

You don"t add onions in Igbo local soups especially onugbu and ora.

[@favourmercy2048]

Thank you sister. Please can I use iru instead of ogiri?

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

No. Not for this recipe.

Nice and detailed video, well done! I am a bit concerned with the way you handle ground pepper with your fingers.

[@IphysKitchen]

Uzo Nwogu @ I fear oo because that pepper can really be 🔥 hot

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Uzo Nwogu Ifeoma Eze Hi Dear, the remedy is very simple...after handling any kind of Pepper, just scrub your hands with one table spoon or more of salt for about 20 seconds, then rinse it off with tap water and wash again with any hand wash liquid or soap and rinse again...no peppery sensation afterwards, I promise!!!

[@oluchimicheals5967]

Winne pls I want to prepare cocoyam soup with ugu how do I start

[@ronkeadeoye8805]

Good job pls is there any other thing for cocoyam l can't get cocoyam here l can only get Ghanaian cocoyam thanks

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Hi Dear, you can use unripe plantain as a thickener for this soup. Just boil it till it is soft, then blend it till a smooth purée is formed. And I think you can also use the Ghanian cocoyam as well.

[@joyceeeahamefula5732]

You can also use Quaker oats flour. The regular white oats we have in Nigeria. The pack/brand with an old white man's picture on it. Just use your dry blender/grinder to grind it to a smooth powdery consistency and use it instead of cocoa yam. Voilà, your onugbu soup is ready! Lol.

[@sabinaahmed1198]

You can use fine ground egushi plus the Ghanaian cocoyam ( amakani ) is good to use .

[@beckysilky2868]

But its true o you didn't add garlic 😀😀😀 in short don't even try it. I use achi as my thickener i didn't grow up using cocoyams but I can try this. Thank you 😍🙌❤

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Becky Silky you are absolutely welcome!!!

[@CrystalEtoniru]

Becky Silky I was going to say the same thing...no garlic. Well done Winnie

[@beckysilky2868]

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Thank you!!

[@DivulgewithAsquare]

Try cocoayam dear, u won't cook it with achi again. The taste is out of the world.

[@egodindeche917]

Chai!!! I can relate on 'the washing of bitter leaf'

[@thelmaamarachi235]

Chai,those days were not fun at all

[@aishataishat1846]

Can I use iru, cos this country there’s no ogiri

[@communicativeuche4351]

Pls I want to prepare this tomorrow, how much do they sell 2 raps of ogiri and how much do they sell 8pieces of cocoyam

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

Which part of Anambra are you from?

[@OgoNwadi]

It needs to be crowded to make it original bitter leaf soup anyway In Anambra thats how we do it

[@chinenyemicah4449]

Hi wini, good job. Which part of Nigeria do you come from? You looks like an Anambra lady. You nailed the onugbu soup.

[@Antonia-nq9nd]

What if i can't get the ogiri what else can i use please i will like to try this

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Hmmmmmm...the ogiri is a major ingredient in this recipe. I haven't tried it without it so I really don't know how it is going to turn out.

[@queenrita6079]

Pls don't bother cooking ofe Onugbu if you won't use ogiri. Cos I have seen video of people using okpei in ofe Onugbu which is a capital NO.

[@ferdinandubakaibeya616]

But can i blend the coco yam, cos i don't have multer to pound the coco yam. Please i am answer

[@royaltyhousehold]

Yes you can

[@isabellamusa8475]

Can I make the soup whiteout ogiri

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Hmmmmmm...you can dear but it will alter the taste a little. ogiri is a major ingredient in this recipe.

[@DivulgewithAsquare]

Use onions, it's perfect replacement of ogiri . But blend the onions

[@josephinestormer8760]

Well done for your wonderful cooking but i think it is not necessary to add garlic to our native soup. Please keep it natural, thanks.

[@wealthjohn3935]

Please what do you use to wash your hands, because of the paper.

I don't like cocoyam, can I use achi or ofor?

Yes, you can.

[@bettymopelolaadesogan2945]

Please try buying unprocessed bitter leaf, wash it yourself and use, it takes not more than 20 minutes to get it ready. Trust me, you will never buy already washed bitter leaves.

[@bettymopelolaadesogan2945]

The stock fish and dry fish should form part of the base of the soup for you to get the full benefits, you may want to try that out next time

[@ifeomaeze6818]

Very detailed video, but I don't know how you do the pepper thing with your hand infact that pepper hurts my eyes for you...lol. you must be a super woman cos for me no amount of soap will wash the pepper away from my hand and my mind.
