This is a delicious soup that is easy to make and you can guarantee that no matter how it is made, it would still come out delicious. The main leaves come from the Oha Tree, which is a tropical tree that is common to the eastern part of Nigeria. And can be propagated through the stem and the tree bears no seed.
This recipe comes from the eastern part of Nigeria. It is one of those native Igbo soups that you taste and just can’t forget. If you ever visit me and I make Oha soup for you, best believe you are very important to me.
Oha leaves are gotten from the evergreen tree in Africa. The plant is botanically known as Pterocarpus mildraedii. It contains many nutrients such as fibre, amino acids, calcium, iron, potassium and vitamin A
