HOW NOT TO COOK OKRA SOUP

This is how not to over cook okra soup because okra is a green vegetableDo not add too much palm oil

Do not add okra too early in the cooking because it will sure over cook and lose some nutrients.

 

Okra soup is best cooked without oil. To get that unique okra flavour, leave oil out completely. It looks green and sometimes uninviting but tastes great.

I  knew this long ago but still cook with oil because I  want that beautiful colourful soup. Oil was supposed to come in early in the cooking so that it doesn’t smell and taste raw.

Adding palm oil at this stage is almost not correct. You can see the okra is almost over cooked because I had to leave it boiling on the cooker for the oil to cook well.  I’m surprised it still tasted delicious.

I actually wanted to make  this soup without oil but changed my mind late when the white mushrooms and green okra didn’t look the way I wanted.      Even though this soup turned out delicious, there was a mix up in the cooking steps and
you’ll see it when you scroll down now.
