Food challenge contest week #165 || For kids and parents| Teach The Kids/Kids Food Challenge| My best soup and simplest soup

My name is Mercy Ayang but known as @mesola, I’m from Akwa ibom state, the land of promise. Today I am about to share with us one of my favorite soup which is very easy and affordable to cook. This soup doesn't take up to 10 minutes to prepare it and there are so many ways to cook it which I will love to share my own part of cooking.

As a mother of 4 I was able to use a little amount of money to cook this delicious soup despite the high cost of food stuff in the market. This particular soup doesn't need so much ingredients before one can cook it, it is one of the easiest and affordable soup to cook this season.

So guys come with me as I share with us my delicious okra soup.

There are some ingredients which I will share with us.

• okra
• canda meat
• pepper
• fish
• seasoning cubes
• red oil
• crayfish

In my today's recipe, I use fresh ice fish to cook my okra soup , what I did first was to season my fish and canda meat, I use pepper, onions, and seasoning cubes to season it, before seasoning,
I make sure I wash the fish with hot water to remove the odor of the fish, then I use my iron sponge to wash my canda very well so that it won't have sand, after washing I cut them to the sizes which I want and I put them in the pot and season it very well. I cook it without adding water.

While seasoning the the meat, I slice the okra and keep aside, then I added red oil to the meat and I allow it to cook for some minutes. Though some people like frying their red oil and fish with onions while cooking okra soup but mine I don't like frying oil, so instead of frying, I added it to the meat for it to cook, with that the oil will enter the fish very well.

When I noticed that the oil has really cooked well, I added a little amount of water, I needed a thick draw soup that is why I am adding very little water for my soup to be thirsty and thick.

After adding water, I allowed it to cook and then I added my crayfish, pepper and seasoning cubes then I at the last I added okra.

I added okra immediately, I love it when my okra is fresh in the soup, so immediately I added my okra, I stir the soup I brought my pot down so that my soup can be fresh. I didn't add any vegetable because I came back home very late, so reaching the market to buy vegetables was a no for me. So right now my soup is ready.

My soup went well with a soft Garry and I really enjoyed it. This particular soup is a soup I love eating at all times without getting tired. So I enjoyed my soup with a bottle of water and it was so delicious.

Just look at the way I finish the food and I lick the plate.

Thanks guys for your time, hope you enjoy my meal.
