How NaijahFresh prepares it

1. Boil the meats and stockfish with spices until tender and juicy.

2. Add cocoyam paste or thickener, stirring until the soup develops a smooth, rich consistency.

3. Introduce palm oil for colour and taste.

4. Stir in bitter leaf, balancing the flavour perfectly — not too bitter, not too bland.

5. Simmer gently until the aroma fills the kitchen and the soup thickens beautifully.

The result? A bold, satisfying soup with layers of earthy flavour, best enjoyed hot with your preferred swallow.
