Hello and welcome, in my country Venezuela we call that vegetable Quimbombó and in other parts of the continent they call it Okra, a vegetable that doesn't add much flavour but is very good as a thickener. My husband is diabetic and uses the thickened Okroro liquid soaked overnight in a glass of water to reduce his blood sugar levels in the morning, he says it helps him a lot. Now with your recipe I see that it can be used as a good ingredient for a soup that looks amazing. Cheers friend, hope to see more of your posts here.
