A sister of mine introduced us(the family)to this soup. I never liked it and it made me not to pay attention to learning how to prepare it. But after i got to know that two important people in my life have taken it as their favorite i approached the lady who it's their native food to teach me how to make it and she did with so much love. So today i want to surprise one of them with my own recipe come with me let's go inside the kitchen for making it.
Making my vegetable soup
I sun dried my water leaf though optional, some people choose to go ahead and cook it just the way the harvested or bought it from the market.
The ingredients i used for my preparation
- 780g of dried water leaves
- 220g of pumpkin leaves
- 60g of onion
- 8 pieces of scotch bonnet
- 100ml of Palm oil
My ingredients are here with me, let's get it ready and prepare this meal with love to surprise a loved one.
The first step to making it
I have to select my vegetables, wash and cut my ingredients the ones that needs to be cut. Went ahead to pound my scotch bonnet.
The second step to achieve it
Put my pot on fire and let it dry up if it wet, pour in my palm oil, the oil isn't meant to be bleached but to just heat it up, add onion stir and pour in the water leaf, stir and close the pot for few minutes. Lastly, I poured in my pumpkin leaves and the pounded scotch bonnet to give me the colorful vegetable soup i wanted. Remember if your scotch bonnet is fried the you will lose the color it will give. So it should be the last thing that should be added.
I arrived at my end product without stress, I hope she likes and appreciate it.
