Thank you so much, Flo Chinyere, for all things that you do. I am an American with both IGBOS parents, living in the United States. My parents has six boys and one girl. My mom thought us how to cook IGBO foods. My mom, do not care of her boys are physicians, pharmacists, engineers, software developers, etc! We have to cook and complements each other. My parents are no longer here in this physical earth! However, your videos has been a good refence point in cooking various IGBO foods. Again, THANK YOU!
Good job Aunty Flo, except that I'm among the school of thought that prefer washing vegetables before cutting and not the other way round, because by so doing there wouldn't be any lose/wastage of the minerals and vitamins from the veges.
Vegetables are packed with so much vitamins, most of them that we eat, the body does not use them up, we end up passing it away through faeces. So cutting before washing does not deprive us of any nutrient.
@@uyiasode2343 My dear try and update your self scientific wise so as to correct your self, because most cases we end up eating nothing but chaffs but if that's the way you prefer it no 'quams' is up to you but know it that the STANDARD approach to it "IS WASH YOUR VEGES BEFORE CUTTING"
I have used this vegetable and once water touch it, you can't cut it. She said it has slip in the video and cutting it first is more efficient for her. If you follow her well you will know that she wash her vegetables before cutting. Watch her video where she prepared her vegetables from nigerian before putting them in the freezer.
Star Alert you are absolutely correct, I am a serious advocate of wash veggies before slicing. But this vegetable? It's even dangerous to try to slice it when wet because the knife will be slipping off the vegetables and may cut one's finger in the process. I should have made that emphasis in the video. Also if you look at the pack when I showed it at the supermarket, it says "lavado" which means "washed" so one can decide to slice and use it without washing again. I wash all my vegetables including the ones they say are already washed but slicing this particular vegetable when it is wet is sometime I will never try again. I don't have the time to wash and keep them to dry again either.
Well done Flo, my observation with the stock water,you could have kept it in the freezer to use for ogbonno or egusi instead of boiling down. These are my personal preferences below; I use kitchen scissors to cut my steamed vegetables . I also prewashed my fresh vegetables before cutting. I also add my meats to cook in the stew before adding vegetables to allow it to season well. I add my vegetables last. I am also not a friend of excess palm oil ,so l sparingly use it in my cooking. Thank you for your efforts.You are a star.
We sure all have our own ways of cooking but you see that "saving" of stock? Please stop that practice, I take God beg you. By "saving" some of the stock you are depleting the full flavour that should have gone into the vegetable soup. The egusi and ogbono soups you will cook in the future will those soups not come with their own meat and fish? This is a common mistake people make in cooking and later they will be wondering why their meals do not taste as great as it should. In fact if you have any saved stock, you should be adding it to this Vegetable Soup instead of taking its own stock away. What is wrong with boiling down the stock? Boiling down stock is simple evaporation and ONLY WATER leaves the solution by evaporation. Boiling down stock does not "waste" the stock in any way as lots of comments here are insinuating. Is it only those that studied Chemistry that understand this simple subject of concentrations in liquids? Chai o!
@@FloChinyere you have just lectured me evaporation process. Pardon my ignorance. I was a very poor science student back in the days that's why l chose law.
Hi Flo, tried the recipe and it was delicious! I always love your recipes and I’m happy you appear and talk in your videos now, it’s soo good to see you!😘👍
Kai Flo what can i do without you, only you saving lives since 1900, i live in the uk and have been cooking rubbish watery vegetable soup since cos of wrong use of the leaves, i am just learning about the frozen spinach(I used to use the fresh ones) and lambs lettuce. I just checked now and my local Asda has it. God contunue to bless you for us Flo.
Bless you too my sister. I am glad we are all learning. You can also prepare it with fresh spinach by blanching it first like Rosita wrote but I do not bother using fresh spinach for this soup because that will be lots and lots of vegetables and fresh spinach is very expensive here. I showed in one of my recent vlogs how expensive a small bag of fresh spinach is. For me to buy the quantity of fresh spinach equivalent to the 2 kilos of frozen spinach I used in this video, we will be talking about €30 worth of spinach but these two bags of frozen spinach cost less than €3.
My Mum use to cook with palm oil see all the Time , I haven seen palm oil for a long time you are the fist one that I seen cooking with it till now look's great what your cooking
@James Van Eynde 😄 palm oil is a staple of West African cooking. Out of curiosity, did your mum live in West Africa? How did she come to use it for her cooking.
Yes I love the detailed video, I was enjoying it I didn’t want it to end....I just wanted to dive through the screen with pounded yam.Thanks Auntie Flo
Thx for your videos, im married to a Nigerian man and its so difficult cooking for him because he is so picky and we come from two different cultures, i am Haitian by the way.. I learn alot from your videos , because of you i will be getting a pressure pot. 😀😀 thx again!
God!!! I really love this! Thanks..... I am not in Nigeria and I have been craving for how to cook vegetable soup but you just saved that craving!! I enjoyed every bit of the video!!!!!
For a non-Nigerian learning to cook Nigerian food, your videos are by far the best for me. Your sunny disposition is contagious. I enjoy watching you. Keep it up sis 👏
Chinyere is trying... keep it up NNE...I have been learning a lot from you. I can't watch how to cook a particular food without coming to check if Flo Chinyere has the dish on her channel first❤
Yes oh, that's why I love to be here,,, am gonna do this soon. Well-done oh, God bless you. Person wey never visit your channel, that one dey eat better Nigeria food so?

Thanks for sharing sis.your video is two years old but very alive and educative.This happens to be my best vegetable soup,but i don't do red meat any more due to health issues.Thank you
You can also use the water and steam your meat if you dont want to waste it, that is how I do mine so all the vitamins stays in. I like your videos and your sense of humor .
I also do have a small garbage bag by my side whilst cooking just as u said going up and down trashing it's tiresome and I do cook the vegs separately b4 adding them together just to get rid of excessive water I use fresh spinach to cook btw the soup looks pretty and temptingly U KNOW WHAT 😂😂😋😋thanks for sharing 💞 💞
Hello - I am enjoying! What leaf would I use in addition to the spinach if I am living in the US? Water Leaf? The only water leaf I"ve seen is frozen. Thank you!
u are doing a good job.pls lets serve God with all our strength now dat we are still alive bc it is appointed for man to die once n after dat comes judgment from our maker.Heb 9vs 27.God bless u as u accept Jesus into ur life
This is exactly how I cook my veg. soup except that I don't use lamb lettuce . I remember the first time I prepared it here in the UK. It turned out to "river niger soup". lol madam you no go kill me with your funny expressions. Anyway love watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
