About Ogbono soup

Ogbono Soup is a hearty and flavorful dish originating from Nigerian cuisine and enjoyed across West Africa. Its key ingredient is ground ogbono seeds, derived from wild African bush mangoes, which give the soup a rich, slightly slimy texture. Typically, ogbono soup includes a blend of protein sources like goat meat, beef, or fish, alongside vegetables such as spinach or bitter leaves. Palm oil, crayfish, and spices are added for depth of flavor, and it’s often enjoyed with staples like pounded yam or fufu. Rich in protein and healthy fats from ogbono seeds, the soup also offers fiber and essential micronutrients from its leafy greens. However, the use of palm oil contributes saturated fats, so portion control is key for those monitoring cholesterol levels. Packed with nutrients and bold flavors, ogbono soup is a nourishing dish that reflects the vibrant culinary traditions of West Africa.
