APRON AND PANS - OKRO SOUP

Ingredients 
Okra (a medium sized bowlfull)
Fluted Pumpkin leaves (as desired) optional 
Stock fish head (medium size)
1 kg of meat (beef, chicken, turkey, etc)
2 medium sizes of dry fishes (optional)
Roasted fish (optional)
Seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste.
10 to 15cl Red oil
Half cup of ground crayfish



Preparation
Slice the okra and set aside in a bowl.

If you want to make the soup with just frozen fish, the process is a little bit simpler than using cow meat. Parboil the fish with all necessary ingredients for five to ten minutes. Pick out with a fork leaving the extract in the pot. 

Add two cups of water to the sauce pan, drop in hot-water-washed stock fish and dry fish.

If you are making it with cow meat, parboil the meat with all necessary ingredients for about ten minutes. Add about two cups of water and cook till the meat is tender.

Add the stock fish and dry fish, cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, till they are soft for consumption. At this point you can add the parboiled or roasted fish if you are making okra soup with fish.

Cook for 5 minutes before adding palm oil, crayfish, seasoning, pepper and salt to taste. 

You will find a tasteful soupy combination. You can add ground ogbono at this point if you are making a combination of okra and ogbono soup.

Add the okra 5 minutes after the ogbono, stir, and cook for about 3 minutes before adding the leaves. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes.
