George-dee- Preparing Okro soup for Creative Sunday

It's time for another Hive Learners Creative Sunday Initiative and as usual, I will be showing you guys how I made something delicious in the kitchen.

For today's entry, I prepared a nutritious Okro soup. I don't eat the soup often but whenever I do, I enjoy it a lot because it's nutritious and adds a different vibe to my swallow meal.

Without wasting much time, let's go straight to the preparation.

Recipe

Okro.
Basil leaves.
Fish.
Cowskin.
Stock fish.
Palm oil.
Onions.
Seasoning cubes.
Pepper soup powder.
Ginger.
Garlic.
Salt.
Black pepper.
Chilli powder.

Procedure

Remember health is wealth so before anything will be done, all the recipes that need to be processed must be processed. Cooking isn't just about making a meal, it involves cleanliness as well. If you take away cleanliness from your preparation, healthiness is far from the meal no matter what your recipes are.

• I boiled the stock fish and cowskin after properly removing their dirt and rinsing them. (not a thorough cooking).
• I washed the fish.
• I grated the Okro.
• I rinsed and sliced the pepper, garlic, onions, ginger and basil leaves.

After doing all that I mentioned above, I moved on to the preparation properly.

• Ensure your pot is clean before using it. Heat the pot and add a small quantity of palm oil.

• Once it is hot, turn the stock fish and cowskin into the hot oil. Let them fry for two minutes before adding onions, garlic and ginger. I allowed everything to fry again for at least another minute.

• I added pepper, chilli powder and black pepper. I added a small quantity of water to it and fish as well.

• While everything was gently cooking, I added the seasoning cubes, salt and pepper soup powder.

• I added a little quantity of water and allowed everything to cook for some minutes.

• When the fish had cooked properly, I removed some to prevent everything from breaking into the soup while stirring the soup.

• I went on to add the okro and stirred it very well before allowing it to cook for a few minutes.

• I added the Basil leaves and allowed everything to cook for another minute before removing the pot from the fire.

Okro soup is very nutritious and will go with any swallow meal. The health benefits of eating Okro are numerous and I will encourage you to go check it out.

Preparing Okro is pocket friendly as well, you don't need to break the bank for it especially when you are preparing a low budget Okro soup like mine. You can decide to use other vegetables or even chicken/beef and regardless of what your recipes are, you will still enjoy the goodness of the soup.

I hope you learned something and also enjoyed watching the video. Feel free to ask questions regarding the soup in the comment section.
