Ogbono Soup Information:


Ogbono soup is an African dish made with ground dry ogbono seeds (the local name for Irvingia) seeds, with considerable local variation. The ground ogbono seeds are used as a thickener and give the soup a black coloration. Besides seeds, water, and palm oil, it typically contains meat and/or fish seasonings such as chili pepper, leafy vegetables and other vegetables.

Typical leaf vegetables include spinach, bitter leaf, and celosia. Typical other vegetables include tomatoes and okra. Typical seasonings include chiles, onions, and iru (fermented locust beans). Typical meats include beef, goat, fish, chicken, bush meat, shrimp, or crayfish.

It can be eaten with any swallow of your choice such as pounded yam, eba, fufu or ground rice. In other countries the soup may be available in packaged prepared form in some markets that specialize in Western African foods. Ogbono soup has a mucilaginous (slimy) texture, similar to okra soup.
