Ofe Onugbu (Bitterleaf Soup)

I love me bitterleaf soup any time any day, the first time i had bitterleaf soup was just few months ago at my very close friend's house (Chuka) i didn't want it at first since i didn't know what it was but then i saw my friend (Atu) we went there together eating it with pounded yam, now she is the type of person that doesn't like spicy food and doesn't eat solid food so to cut long story short, i thought to have a taste of this soup, so i took piece and bam i was like boy what soup is this?? lol you can imagine the expression on my face, in my head i was like am definitely going to make this and goodness where has this been all my life?
A lot of people when they hear bitter something, they don't even want to hear it again, just because they think the soup will be bitter, my friend Victoria Osomo always says one proverb that goes 'sweetness comes after bitterness' now that simply means: you are using bitter leaf to cook the soup thinking it will become too bitter but by the time you wash the leaf and season it into a soup it will be so sweet.
Here made it is for the first ever and i was actually talking to the soup saying (we have so many years to get to know each other) it tastes great.

Ingredients can be bought in any Afro-Caribbean store.

This is Atu eating the bitterleaf soup and pounded yam at Chuka's house for the first we both were having a taste.

The making......

Bitterleaf soup!

Pepper-soup

This is a Nigerian medicinal soup, so i asked why is it so? i was told it is the ingredient and the leafs and it is a real treat to invigorate the heart also for blood. Since some people don't like medicine  here is something you could try.
 In Nigeria this is mostly served after illness to help with the bones, restore blood etc, but is now a popular soup for all whether ill or well it is very good for you only pepprish. 

Things used for this soup are bitter leaf, utazi, ugwu and mint leafs, tamarind pods, cumin seeds, aniseed pepper etc...
