AFANG SOUP RECIPE

- Afang soup is one of the easiest Nigerian soups you can make - it is also delicious and full of nutrition! If you live in Nigeria, it is better to grind it at the market-your soup would be less watery & the texture better (but I realise they don't wash the leaves before grinding which is why I prefer grinding at home)

Won't the water leaves be overcooked?
Hello Sisi. You can try pounding the leaves instead. Wouldn't require water, so the soup will be drier.
Also if you find somehow that the water is too much, leave the pot open for the water to vaporize
SisiYemmieTV I love all your videos Sis💕❤️😘😘
There are two major ways of cooking it, most people don't know the other method which doesn't require waterleaf and it's a classic. It's called "Afang eyop" Eyop there is what the Igbos called banga.
Afang eyop is prepared the same way banga soup is prepared and it goes this way:-
1. Boil the palm kernel in water until soft. This should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
2. In a mortar and pestle, pound the kernels until pulpy, then transfer the pulps to a large bowl. Add water and sieve into another bowl or pot. Keep doing this until you get enough liquid extract to make your soup. Dispose of the rest.
3. Wash and season your meats, fish (preferably fresh cat fish) and whatever else you are using and boil until soft (the same way you are doing in this video).
4. Boil the extracted palm kenel liquid for about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Then add your meat, fish, crayfish, a little more chilli powder, salt and seasoning cube to taste and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Add your Afang leaves and let it cook for about 15 -20 minutes or less. That’s it.
Don't forget to come and thank me later. :D
God bless my mama.
I'm a calabar girl and Afang is my favorite soup. you cooked it very well but water was too much. we have a special waterleaf we use in cooking Afang which is 'curly waterleaf' it does not have water and very dry. next time try it
Watching this in 2024 and I just want to say thank you for taking us to the market with you. That’s what makes this video x100 better 🥺
I cook this soup every other week, my favourite. I usually add my palm oil before I add the water leaf, then the Ukazi. The palm oil mixing with the stock, before the introduction and soaking of the waterleaf and ukazi makes it taste amazing. Nice one sisi
I’m so curious to taste Nigerian food... Us Haitians, we never mix meats; like you would never see fish and goat together in one pot. So I find your cooking quite unique...
Well done. I’m partly Calabar and grew up in Calabar. We cooked the soup all the time. I’m so glad to see you didn’t add onions. A typical CALABAR person cannot stand onions in Afang soup. You did well Sisi Yemmie.
I want to make afang soup and and it is my first time.. Guys pray for me 😂😂 sisiyemmie nah ur hand I dey 🤷
Wow..it is similar to how we cook eru in Cameroon except for the fact that we let the water dry off from the soup. So yummy indeed...
Sis Yemi I really like that your recipes is natural and fast, you didn't talk too much, you didn't waste time. But I most also mention (as a cross-river girl) that the traditional Afang soup is not blended, the least you can do is eat pound the afang just a little bit. I am not shading your recipe, I love it.. Guys you should try it out, but I also urge you to try it the way I recommended, you see how they sliced that afang for you, cook it like that or pound it a little to soften (seems like you like soft afang) and taste the massive difference. Its my people's local meal, so I had to comment. But then again. Thank you for great content.. Loving your channel ❤👍
ah reminds me of when i went home this Christmas. my mum blessed my whole soul with Afang! - My fav soup! and it must be with the periwinkle you suck out from the shell because it adds an extra flavour to me!
In Cameroon we call this eru, but we don’t blend our afang tho... I loveeeeee it with garri.
Oh wow..I guessed right. This is called eru in Cameroon. On the contrary, we don't blend the leaves. We cook the sliced ones like that..Very delicious.
Just found out my fiance enjoys afang soup because he did his NYSC in Calabar but he loves to buy it from Calabar restaurants in Jos.. Never tasted it, never cooked it and am glad Sisi Yemmie did a video yayyyy....i enjoy watching your videos...so easy and love the explanantions. Am sure my fiance will be pleased and thank you!
I just prepared the soup following every step you showed us and believe me, it turned out perfectly. Thanks
I love how you go straight to the point
Thank you so much! you've been my life saver since I moved back to Nigeria
This looks exactly like Mali “saga saga” the difference is that we cook it a little bit more to let the water dry. Very delicious.❤️😋
I just love the woman
And her short way of cooking 😊😊😊
Love the intro with you taking us along to the market.
Sisi, one day do a video of the leaves you use in your cooking so that I can see if they can be found in Kenya. I really enjoy your food vlogs with my ideas, I would love to try and cook it here.
This is almost like what we call Eru in Cameroon. But we don't grind the Eru (okazi) leaves. Looks soo yum.
That really looks appetising and delicious❤️Will definitely give this a try. Thanks for sharing❤️

Fantastic Favour you are here 🤣🙌
Fantastic Favour 😋😋😋hmmm
SisiYemmieTV 😋😋😉🤗🙋♀️
Wow I love how you cook
SisiYemmie, Pls always do well to caption each interval of your cooking video with the time it takes to wait or boil a particular ingredient of soups. For example, caption clearly on the video 5mins if it should take 5mins to boil the meat and other chewables before adding waterleaf and the rest of it. it will help deaf subscribers at least since your video is targeting anyone irrespective of age and condition.
My own opinion.
Just watching it, makes my mouth watery. Awesome video. Superb camera
Sweet and looks inviting. My throat is in it. Love it so much.
Deliciously made. Thanks for sharing. 🤛
I must cook it. Craving for it right now
I prepared this soup yesterday for the time 🥰 trust me so delicious 😋
This is exactly how I make afang soup still yearning to try the other methods😍😍😍😋
Hi Sisi Yemmie hope all is well☺️I was thinking if it was possible for you to look up western african dishes from for example sierra leone, liberia, togo etc that are similar to nigerian certain dishes and try to share your own recipe recreating them? That would be nice to see 😁

Nice one my pretty Sisiyemi
I’m about to make one today
Just recommended this video to a neighbour who wants to make Afang for the first time. You can't go wrong with Sisi Yemmie's recipe 100%.
Coming back to my comment in 2023. This recipe still bangs

I love vegetable soup so much. Thanks for sharing Sisi Yemmie.
Can I replace the waterleaf with spinach?
I like this soup
Looks good
Sisi Yemmie you’re just making start thinking about this soup oooooo been a while, we don’t have water leaf for here I fit use spinach in place of water leaf?
Thanks for sharing. Before adding the water leaf, wash and squeeze out excess of water,, also the dry prawn....I personally duo can not add it like that, this soup doesn't need whole dry prawns in, personal preference sha. Look yummy welldone.
This looks nice
😩😩😩 I WANT SOME IT LOOKS AMAZING
