Homemade Ugu And Okazi Vegetable Soup || Why Vegetables Are Important To The Body System
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.
You can check my previous food recipe Eastern Part Of Nigerian Local Delicacy || Oha Soup Recipe
The Ingredients
Okazi Leave
Ugu Leave
Palm Oil
Beef
Pomo (cow skin)
Snail (already made)
Blended Pepper
Sliced Onions (for the Beef and Pomo)
Stock Fish
Maggi and Salt
Step 1: The very first step is to wash and slice the Okazi leave, then do the same for the Ugu leave and set both aside
Step 2: Now wash the beef, pomo (cow skin) and stock fish and seasoning then add the sliced onions and boil.
Step 3: After 10 minutes, separate the stocks (beef, pomo and fish) from the water, then add palm oil and blended pepper and allow to boil for 4 minutes.
Step 4: Add the sliced Okazi leave, then allow to cook for 3 minutes, add the sliced Ugu leave and allow to cook for another 3 minutes.
Step 5: Add the stocks (Beef, Pomo and Stock Fish) then add the Maggi and salt to taste cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat, then dish out and make sure you serve hot, you can enjoy this unique soup with any swallow of your choice

Why Vegetables Are Important To The Body System
You might be wondering why this soup contains two different vegetables, well I’ll quickly state 4 reasons why vegetables are important to the body
Vegetable contains fiber this allow us to get filled faster even when we consume less.
Vegetables contains a lot of antioxidants and phytochemicals this helps to fight inflammation in the body system
Eyes treatment, the main reason why my mum loves vegetables so much, one of the nutrients in vegetable is Lutein, this helps to improve the vision and it’s very beneficial to the people with low vision and eyes problem
Finally, Vegetable contains vitamin C which is very important to the immune system. And we all know the importance of the immune system so eating vegetables will help improve and build the immune system.

Never heard of something like this but looks nice.
It’s a Nigerian dish, specifically the eastern part of Nigeria. I combine two vegetable leave together.. Ugu and Okazi vegetable to make the soup. It’s unique and delicious at the same time.
Since it contains two different vegetables it’s highly beneficial to the health. As you know how important vegetables are to the body system. It’s a local dish and can be enjoy with swallow or even rice.
Thank you so much for stopping by, have a blissful day ❤️❤️
Thanks for the explanation. Maybe someday I would try my own version of this.
If you want to try you own version, kindly tag me please I can’t wait to read it 😁😀.
Thank you for your support ❤️
Sure. Maybe not too soon 😅 I'm a lazy cook 😁😁
See you around.
Always wanted to change my soup wondering what to cook next then boom you came my way.
I will try this next week but my only fear is that hope the Okazi leaf is available here because I’m in a Yoruba land (Kwara state)
It will definitely be available, but it won’t be fresh plus it might be costly. You no Lagos is a business place most of the people from the east brings fresh Okazi leave to sell and it’s cost effective and available at any big local market Infact you can get it a supermarket.
Thank you for visiting my blog ❤️❤️, have a nice day
I will put an eye out for it ad drop a feedback.
