About Okra soup
Okra soup is a hearty and flavorful dish rooted in African and Caribbean cuisines, but it’s also popular across the Southern United States. Made with fresh okra as its key ingredient, this soup often includes tomatoes, onions, garlic, and protein options like shrimp, chicken, or beef. Some variations incorporate hot peppers for a spicy kick or thickening agents like palm oil or cornstarch for a rich texture. Okra is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in fiber, vitamins C and K, and folate, which can support digestion and overall health. The soup's high protein content from added meats or seafood makes it a satisfying meal option. However, certain versions may be calorie-dense due to ingredients like palm oil or excess sodium. When prepared with light oils and mindful seasoning, okra soup can be a wholesome addition to a balanced diet, offering both comfort and nutrition.
