White Soup, also known as "Ofe Nsala" in Igbo language, is a traditional Nigerian soup that originates from the southeastern part of the country. Here's a description:
White Soup is a flavorful and aromatic dish made with a combination of meats, typically goat meat, catfish, or chicken, and a blend of traditional spices and herbs. The soup gets its name from its light color, which is achieved by using a minimal amount of palm oil or no palm oil at all in the cooking process.
The key ingredient in White Soup is the spices and herbs used to flavor the broth. Common ingredients include uziza leaves, utazi leaves, and traditional spices like pepper soup spice mix, which gives the soup its distinctive taste and aroma.
To prepare White Soup, the meats are first boiled until tender, then seasoned with the pepper soup spice mix and other ingredients. The uziza and utazi leaves are added to the broth, along with any additional spices or seasonings, and simmered until the flavors have melded together.
White Soup is known for its rich and complex flavor profile, with a balance of savory, spicy, and aromatic notes. It is typically served hot and enjoyed with a side of fufu, pounded yam, or garri (cassava flakes). The soup is often served during special occasions, celebrations, and gatherings, where it is savored for its delicious taste and cultural significance in Nigerian cuisine.
