After a long productive day, an evening spent with a hot bowl of  assorted fish Okra soup would do a great trick in keeping you active and healthy 

Okra soup is by far one of the easiest, cheapest, fastest and healthiest Nigerian dishes... also known as Lady finger soup or ofe okwuru (Igbo), obe illa (Yoruba) and Miyan kubewa (Hausa)

Is a very common Nigerian soup

First this is an Okra soup prepared without Ogbono(a native ingredient used in preparing okra)

So you have your ingredients below 

&. 300g of Okra (Lady fingers)

&. 2 cooking spoon palm oil 

&. Assorted fish (dry fish,  stock fish, fresh fish, smoked fish) (you can use anyone of your choice or all if you wish)

&.  One table spoon full grounded crayfish

&. One onion bulb(for cooking the fish...you can add to the soup if you want to)

&. Salt, maggi and pepper (to taste)

&. Two or more handful of shredded green vegetables (ugwu)

Steps in preparation 

—before you cook, chop the okra into tiny bits(if you want it less chunky you can grate it in a grater)

Slice or cut the vegetables into tiny bits and set aside

—season your stocked fish and assorted fish (fresh fish or iced fish) with onion, maggi cube and salt...cook until tender ( 5 minutes at most)

Steps in cooking 

—in a clean dry pot, heat up the palm oil, then add the chopped okra and stir for five minutes until it softens

—add the little water from the cooked meat and fish ...add ground crayfish, pepper, maggi cube and dried fish (don’t include the precooked or smoked fish yet...so it doesn’t get over cook and break into pieces)

Cover pot and allow to cook for another four to five minutes 

—after five minutes, add the vegetables and salt to taste, then add the precooked fresh/ice fish or smoked fish....

Cover pot and allow to cook for a little two to three minutes (remember not to over cook your vegetables)

And your delicious Assorted fish Okra soup is ready....🤗🤗
