Ogbono - Mango seed soup - make it draw

I can't really recall this famous Ogbono soup from Nigeria. The first time I did try it, it was in the UK. And when I had it, it had a soapy kinda taste so I was put off entirely. However, I had an aunty who loved it very much and every time she had it, she would say 'this is the best soup ever, try it and your life will never be the same'. LOL.

So how did I get over my repulsion for the soup? This is how... On one fateful day, my friend Yemisi, made it and she made it with a lot of pepper which sort of gave the soup a different kind of kick. This is how I got drawn to try the soup again and this time, I liked it.

Though the soup, is not my favourite, it's still nice. Enjoyyy. :)




P/S:
My readers have grilled me so much about how to make ogbono draw, and here is how;
First, have your boiled hot water ready. Then place your ogbono powder in a bowl and gradually add small quantities of the boiled water. Mix until smooth then pour inside the boiling meat on fire.

Souffle - how to make

This is served as a desert and the taste is just beautiful 

2eggs separated
2tsp plain flour
2tbs butter
2tsp double cream
1tsp vanila extract
1/2cup Warm milk
Pinch of Salt

Heat the butter on medium heat, add the flour, stir for 1min then add the warm milk bit by bit, stir constantly until it becomes a thick sauce, once done take off stove.

This is called white sauce

Now add the egg yolk, vanila, cream and stir, set aside in a bowl.

in another bowl place the egg whites to whisk for about 7min or until it becomes together that you can't see any watery thing there any more while doing this add the white sugar bit by bit.

Mix the sauce and egg white together now with a spoon.
Once mixed well, pour into your ramekins not to full and use your finger tip to clean the edges to rise well.

place in the oven at 180oc for 12min or until risen

dust with the icing sugar and serve immediately
