My Ogbona soup

Hi guys, I brought to you again one of the most hype Nigeria soup called Ogbonna soup. Ogbona seed is normally used to prepare this wonderful soup. Before we go to the kitchen let's talk alittle about this soup to know how special it is.

Ogbonna soup is one of the most cherished soup in Igbo Land. Igbo Land is one of the tribes in Nigeria. Ogbono seed is a genus of African and Southeast Asian trees in the family Irvingiaceae, sometimes known by the common names wild mango, African mango, bush mango, dika . They bear edible mango-like fruits, and are especially valued for their fat- and protein-rich nuts.

ogbono soup powder is a good source of Vitamin B2 and Vitamin C. The increase in Vitamin B2 content of all the samples may be due to addition of fluted pumpkin (Ugwu) leaf which is believed to be rich in vitamins.

Enough of talking dudes........I talk too much...... please let's go to the kitchen and show us the tricks.
