Afang Soup is a beloved dish from Efik and Ibibio cuisine in southeastern Nigeria. This hearty and flavorful soup is made with finely shredded Afang (wild spinach) leaves, waterleaf, assorted meats, smoked fish, crayfish, palm oil, and a blend of traditional spices. Packed with nutrients, Afang Soup is rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, iron, and antioxidants, thanks to its abundance of leafy greens. The inclusion of protein sources like meat and fish enhances its nutritional profile, making it a balanced and satisfying meal. However, its high palm oil content can contribute to elevated fat levels, so moderation is key for those watching their fat intake. Traditionally served with pounded yam, fufu, or other starchy sides, Afang Soup offers a wholesome and deeply rooted culinary experience reflective of Nigeria's cultural heritage.
