Delicious okro soup and swallow as dinner - My recipe

Hi Hive friends and food lovers, hope you are having a nice day.
Today I bring you an African recipe of a soup known as okro soup or draw soup. This soup is enjoyed by many Africans, precisely Nigerians (Igbos). Some members of my family enjoy having this soup; it is my husband's best soup, same with my children, my brother @brainbrian can have this soup every day. I know some friends here don't know or know little about this soup, so I decided to share the recipe. The ingredients I used are:

                  INGREDIENTS

• Pumpkin leaves
• Okro seed
• Fresh fish
• Stock fish
• Red oil also known as palm oil
• Onions
• fresh pepper
• Crayfish
• Ogbono (for thickness)
• Seasoning cubes
• Salt to taste

        PREPARATIONS

First, I got my ingredients ready for use. I plucked out my pumpkin leave, washed and cut to smaller pieces, I did the same with the okro plant. I sliced the onions to desirable sizes. Next I grind the crayfish, the Ogbono (for thickness) and the fresh pepper. Later, I washed my fresh fish and stock fish seasoned it and steamed for some minutes. I set the steamed proteins aside in a bowl.

Now that my ingredients are ready, I heated my electric stove. I washed my pot and placed it on the electric stove. I added the palm oil to the pot and allowed to heat for some seconds. Next I add the sliced onions and the sliced okro seed and fry them together for like 5 minutes until it starts to draw.

Next I added the fish stock, the grinded crayfish and Ogbono, the fresh pepper and some salt to taste. After putting these ingredients, I stir them together and allowed it to boil for some minutes. After boiling for sometime, I added my fresh vegetables( the pumpkin leaves) and the fresh fish and stock fish. Finally I add the seasoning cube and stir together. At this point you can add some water if the soup is too thick. Cover the pot and allow all the ingredients to boil and collide together.
Wow! the result was so delicious. I had this soup with swallow (garri). Everyone enjoyed their dinner.

Thank you friends for reading to this point, I hope you enjoyed the recipe. You can try it out one day believe me you will love it. Bye and have a great day
