Okro said, ehen ehen!
If you did not sing this song during your childhood then I truly pity you. Just replace “okro” with “Anna” and “pot” with “market” and… to get the original version.
About 15 medium sized okras, 2 Maggi cubes, a quarter cup of crayfish, 1 large cleaned tilapia fish, half a medium-sized onion and a handful of spinach.
Chop the okra into circles.
Then chop finely. This chopping process is therapeutic for me but if you find it worrisome, just grate the okras or cut roughly and pulse in a blender.
Cut tilapia fish and place in a pot with about four cups of water. Chop onions and add on top. Season with salt.
Bring that to boil on medium heat. Then put in chopped okra, crayfish and Maggi. If you are in love with pepper, add it in.
Chop spinach and set aside. Let it boil! Let it boo-oo-ooil. But not too much so you don’t loose the green colour and the nutrients. Add in the chopped spinach.
Then QUICKLY turn off your heat. There you have it! Delicious, healthy, super simple okra soup.

Hmmm… Okra soup never looked better. I have always had a problem with cooking this meal, as I can never get the okra to draw. Will try it your way next. Thanks!

Thank you oh,most Cameroon families like mine love okro soup. Very easy to cook but the most difficult part is to maintain the green colour…Thanks for the tips,hopefully my next okro soup will be this green. Thanks
You are welcome, dear. The key is to add the okra last to the pot and don’t let it overcook so it remains green.
