Hello, everyone. My name is Mistural, and I'd like to welcome you to my blog. Today, we'll create a unique delicacy called ugu and okazi soup. While I lived in the East, it was one of my favorite meal recipes. For mine, I'm going to make it a little more delectable. This is going to smell and look amazing.

In the eastern part of Nigeria, ugu and okazi soup is one of the most popular current dishes. It is valued by millions of people every day. It's easy to make, quick to prepare, and delicious to eat. Ugu and okazi soup has always been one of my favorite dishes. They're lovely and they look fantastic.

Okazi is also known as Afang, I've previously posted a recipe for Afang soup, which you can find here. Okazi leaves (also known as Afang leaves by the Efiks) and water leaves are among the veggies used in the Okazi soup (spinach and lamb lettuce can be used as alternatives for this vegetable).

To get started with this dish, we'll need to get a few things ready. Ugu and okazi soup can be made with this unique ingredients and by following the steps below.
