Authentic Delta Style Fresh Fish Banga Soup Made From Scratch (Palm Fruit Soup/Ofe Akwu)

Ever tried banga soup?
This authentic delta style fresh fish Banga soup recipe is how it should be made. Made from scratch, every spice traditionally used for this brings its flavour and aroma. People from the East call it Ofe Akwu and our Oyinbos would say Palm fruit Soup 😁
Nuff said!
Ingredients
Palm fruits (substitute for canned palm extract)
Scotch bonnet to taste
1 large Onion ( blended together)
Oburunbebe stick (stem of a herb a tree) some call it banga stick in the markets.
1 tbsp ground banga spice
2 seasoning cubes
Salt to taste
1/2 cup ground crayfish
1/4 cup beletele (don't know what this is called in English but it is a dried leaf herb)
Dried bitter leaf to taste
Fresh catfish cut into sizeable chunks
Notes
You can substitute the pepper and onion blend for ground pepper and a whole onion bulb cooked in the soup and taken out when it is done.
You can leave out Oburunbebe stick if you can't find in your local market. Your banga soup will still taste great
Add bitter leaf a tsp at a time to suit your taste.
When shopping for spice please note that banga spice is different from pepper soup spice.
You can use dried fish, ice fish chicken, beef or even pork.
Enjoy!

What is iburumbe stick and beletete
Don't know if I spelt it correctly

[@MemoirofaKitchenGirl]

Not sure what’s it called in English but you ask people who sell banga and pepper soup spice. I know it’s popular in Delta state . You can also omit it, it will still come out well
