My favourite Ofe Nsala

Ofe nsala is a popular and delicious soup in the eastern part of Nigeria. It is called the “white soup”; This is because of its light colour due to the absence of palm oil. It has a unique taste and can be prepared really fast.Ingredients:CatfishUtazi leavesGround crayfishOgiri (locust beans)Chopped onionsSeasoning cubesRaw yam or yam pasteSalt and pepper to tasteCooking stepsPut the catfish in a bowl and pour hot water.
