Good morning to my Vegan Family,Hope you all are doing very fine this morning.
I welcome you all back to my Blog this morning.

Today I decided to make this Native Afang Soup for my family because it’s being long I made it for them .they love the soup so much because it is native and also a natural Receipe.

Afang soup is a trademark soup of Efik people,when I say efik ,am talking about Akwa Ibom or cross river states. But today it has migrated all over Nigeria.
Most of the Eastern part of Nigeria now use it as their ceremonial Soup because it is always presentable.

INGREDIENTS USED

Big Quantity  of Waterleaf
Medium quantity of Afang Leaves(Ukazi)
Few pieces of Fresh pepper
Half litre of Red oil
One tablespoon of salt

PROCEDURE 

I prepared all my ingredients and set aside.

Then I washed both the waterleaf and Afang leaves(ukazi) also the fresh pepper and put it in my mortar and starts pounding my pepper and set aside.

Then I pound my Afang leaves(native Ukazi) and after pounding,I sliced my waterleaf  and put my pot on fire and add my waterleaf to drain out all the water in it.

Afang leaves is a good source of unsaturated fatty acid .the afang leave help maintain cholesterol level and fats helps in absorption of important Nutrients in the body.it also contains vitamins and minerals as well as iodine.most importantly it serves as a blood booster when you eats it always.


After some minutes,I added my Afang leaves and stir very well.
