Bitter leaf Soup (Ofe Onugbu)

Bitter leaf Soup (Ofe Onugbu) is one soup with loads of benefits made from leaves that are pretty bitter. However, the more you rinse the leaves out before cooking, the less bitter it becomes. Bitter leaf soup is not unpleasant to eat as the name suggests; instead, it is slightly but tolerably bitter.

The leaves are transformed into a wholesome and well-sought-after delicacy when cooked with ingredients like beef, stock, smoked catfish, ground egusi, palm oil, and blended tomatoes and peppers.
