HOW TO COOK OFE OWERRI: The Nigerian Soup for Rich People | All Nigerian Recipes | Flo Chinyere

[@IjeomaMbelu]

My husband is from owerri but I have not prepared this for him before. My inlaws were doing shakara when I asked them to teach me how to cook it. Now I will confidently cook it on my own... Thanks Aunt Flo 💕

[@ibekaify8485]

Weldone aunty Flo. D reason u have to transfer d soup into a container immediately is so d soup remains fresh, and d vegetable doesn't darken.. And I will eat d soup wit my cabbage fufu

[@easybreeze1891]

Im from owerri and u need better money to cook the soup.. practice befor u serve the in laws o.. u know they are never satisfied

[@easybreeze1891]

@Ij_ u kn if na tru..

[@chinezeafoma5081]

wow! I can relate quite well. My hubby is from Owerri too. Will surprise him with this recipe soonest! Thanks, Aunt Flo for sharing

[@sandrannaji5064]

You are blessed ma. No one knows it all. We all learn new things. Dont Feel bad if your not good at some things. Now you know it. Thats all that matters

[@olawunmiabamba7151]

I tried this today for the 1st time and I think I got it right; hubby ( from the east) testified. Thanks for your tutorial. I used smoked Turkey, mutton, stick and dry fish.

[@estheranin5937]

I am a Ghanaian but I hv come to love Nigeria foods ...It is tasty and easy to prepare, I am learning a lot from here ... thanks mum

[@nonyesspace6803]

Oooh yes... Aunty Flo has come back to my place... Ofe Owerri is a goal

[@MrSamejis]

Aunty Flo, I use food processor for pounding the cocoyam and it makes life easy biko, or sometimes i use blender, just add water and blend in small quantities, then adjust water in the soup. Thank you for this recipe, i am cooking it this weekend. (by the way i used your ofe achara- mgbam recipe to try out last weekend)

[@stephaniemoses1074]

I will eat this ofe owerri with pounded yam.I am from benue but I love ibo soups and Aunt Flo always hooks me up with the right recipes. High applause for you madame👏🏿👏🏿💃🏿

[@ChibuikeUlasi]

I will eat this ofe owerri with oatmeal fufu. I believe the reason why you transfer the soup to a cool container would be so that you do not over cook the vegetables/nutrients since the stove is still hot. The soup looks delicious 😋👌 with lots of obstacles. Thank you so much for sharing. Another classic recipe from Flo.

[@Chiellao]

Me too

[@jennifercollins7764]

In my Country🇬🇾Guyana, we dont mix meat and fish in one pot whether soup stew etc but every Country has it's own diet, eating styles and ways of food preparation am here to learn and love

[@omalicha7388]

Any particular reason for that?

[@blessingtitus1895]

Una dey miss I swear

[@fezgeefashions]

You definitely have to try it Soup with only beef? Without smoked fish that soup is lacking

[@shinyvalley5145]

A lot of countries also in east Africa and Southern Africa don’t mix meat and fish n different proteins. I think it’s just a west African thing

[@tastycity]

Yes ooo sis Flo you are more than right he who does not have money can not eat ofe owerri,maka oye na ejiro ego adieri ofe owerri.This soup is everything looks so yummy with enough obstacles chai oo some one is on her way with her fufu 😊

[@jennysoutlet]

Transferring it to a container helps the vegetable to stay green and stops it from over cooking.

[@feliciajohnson4540]

You are on point

[@calistaojukwu6028]

This is yummy ,Thank you .You can as well pound the cocoa yams with half of the oil to ease dissolving no lumps at all

[@joychisom9617]

How d u mean pls

[@calistaojukwu6028]

After pounding the cocoa yams put half the quantity of what you are going to use and pound together and then put in your soup you will not see any lumps of cocoa yams

[@nenyesdiary4348]

Just learnt new on how to make the vegetable stay green.

[@tinasale8826]

We transfer to a cool container to keep the leaves green instead of over cool n dark in color. I'll eat my ofe Owerri with akpu the combo is mind blowing I tell you. Thanks ma'am for this wonderful recipe. I love it. ❤❤❤
