I made Vegan Nigerian Okro/Okra soup. I used extra firm organic tofu and baby Bella mushrooms as the meat substitute but you can use any other thing you like.
Also, I didn’t add any vegetable stock cubes, just salt and local spices like locust beans
Ingredients
12 oz okra - Cut in 3 ways
2oz baby Bella mushrooms (it came in a 4oz pack and I just used about half of it),
14oz/397g Extra firm organic Tofu (I used ‘Nasoya’, the whole pack) - fried and seasoned with onion powder and salt
1 medium diced onion
1 1/2 cooking spoonful palm oil,
1 tbs Locust beans (iru),
1 clove garlic,
1/4 of a thumb of ginger,
1 1/2 - 2tsp tsp salt,
1/2 cup of water - the amount of water added depends on how much water you blended the okra with in the first place. So be careful not to use too much
a generous handful of chopped spinach,
1 deseeded scotch bonnet (for the garnish),
Pepper mix - for this, i blended 2 large bell peppers, 2 or 3 scotch bonnets & 1 medium onion. After i boiled it to reduce the moisture so it would be easier for me to fry it in the palm oil.

Words can’t express how thankful I am for you posting this. Growing up Nigerian, i wanted to make the change to a plant based lifestyle but I thought that not eating the meat part of the egusi was enough. BIG mistake😂 to took me 8 months to realize that if I truly wanna be vegan I have to start making my own alternatives to the Nigerian food I love. I’ll definitely cook this in the near future
A tip: I add seaweed (kelp or nori depending on what I want) to my recipes to substitute dried fish. Works like a charm. I add it to my yébéssé fionfion as well. Amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I’ve been craving my Mum’s food and didn’t know how to cook it, nor are there vegan options at local Nigerian restaurants in my city, so thank you so much for this! You’re a lifesaver ❤️
UPDATE! I’ve made this 4 times! My husband won’t let me rest, he wants okra soup every day! Lol
I made this tonight! It’s SOOOOO good! I don’t like tofu so I doubled the mushroom. I put my okra soup on top of basmati rice. This soup is so nice! In fact my hubby and I cannot wait to have it again for dinner tomorrow! God bless you for sharing! ❤
So glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for watching!
Great video, I've love substituting mushrooms for meat in stews but never thought to add tofu. Looks like it came out yummy!
Hi 👋🏿 Thanks for sharing this looks Delicious . I am a Jamaican 🇯🇲 Vegan and I wanted to learn how to cook African Okra Soup , now I Must try this.
I made this yesterday, having the rest for dinner right now! DELICIOUS (no tofu, I put a little chili pepper in it so it's just a hint hot).
Thank-you!!!
So glad you loved it. Thanks for watching ❤️
Finally a plant-based version of okra soup! I'm so happy ☺️
But can I use grapeseed oil in place of palm oil?
Yep I will be making this with fufu! I been having a taste for months lol so now I see how to make it I won't be bothering my work moms lol
This looks so good. I want to start eating more outside of my region
trippie renn You should try it out and let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching!
I will definitely be trying this
Thank you so much my sister for posting. I was looking for this a long time. I am trying to come off meat and go vegetarian or even vegan. Thanks again I must try.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching😊
Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I made it this morning and it was DELICIOUUUSSS!! I added some vegan chicken bouillon to give it a more meaty flavor and omitted the tofu! ❤️ I served it with plantain and Fufu 🥰
This makes me so glad 💃🏾Thank you 😊
I will try this
Look's delicious! Thank you for sharing.
I grew up in a Creole Haitian household and we pronounce Okra like (Oak-rah).
First to comment! Amazing content btw!. Definitely learnt a few useful hacks I'd be trying out.
Thank you!!
This looks amazing I will definately try this teciepe
I like that
Hey, can you make ogbono soup
I’m in love❤😻
Yes honey come thru luv it. Great job. The best version yet that I’ve seen. I know MyVeganSol has made one but she doesn’t do UA-cam.
Dashawn Merriweather thank you for watching 💕
Yummy
I’m trying this too !! Sheesh thanks Love 💕💕💕
By the way the Hausa people call Tofu Beske which is Fried Wara. Wara is made from either Milk Curd or Soya Beans. Be sure to specify.
Omg. I have to make this immediately 🤤😩😍😍😍😍🔥
Thanks for watching!
Yum 😋
Hi... Will the okra give slimy texture... I am not sure..
I saw a few meat/seafood recipes and they insist on adding crayfish seasoning. I see from your version it looks flavorful without it. I wonder what would be a good replacement for crayfish. I was thinking seaweed sheets or kelp seasoning to give it a fishy taste? Full disclosure I had it for the first time yesterday with goat and I came looking to reproduce what I had. I did not know seafood was a big part of it. Maybe I’ll reach back out to the hostess too!
Go girl! Looks yum 😍
Thanks😊
😋😋 good food
This looks delicious if you removed all the oil what do you think @Atlanta Creole
Can you make a vegan playlist
Love it but I will use canola instead of the palm oil... looks yummyooooo
Deborah Femi thank you for watching ❤️
Achiote oil is a good substitute for palm oil you just get some annatto seeds and cook them in an oil of your choice, gives it the colour and great flavour
There is nothing wrong with palm oil, it is brimming with retinol/vitamin A, that is why it is red in colour. There is hardly any other oil that can surpass its nutritional value. ALL oils go rancid when cooked beyond a certain temperature and that is when they become unhealthy. The cooking method used in this video would turn any oil unhealthy by the time the food is done. Better to use water and add oil towards the end of your cooking. There is also something called residual heat which continues cooking the food after the fire is turned off.
Nice sharing 👍
That looks really good!!!!!!
Hindukush thank you 💕
@@BusolaCooks Your Welcome Dear.
Do you think this recipe would taste similar omitting the Palm oil? I'm trying to cut out oils.
Yes, for the most part! People make oil-less okra soup all the time, you might just miss out on the slightly smoky flavor palm oil brings but It'd taste great still!
I cant find locust beans at my locsl store. Can it be substituted for something else?
@Psychedelic Child - you don't have to put the locust beans in your okro stew to enjoy it! Add other things!
Can something else replace the palm oil?
Any other vegetable oil should be a good replacement however you won’t get the flavors that palm oil brings to the dish
What can u use instead of palm oil?
Vegetable oil? I’ve never tried it but I’m guessing it should be a great substitute although you’d be missing the distinct palm oil taste. Thanks for watching 💕
I use sunflower oil with just a little bit tomatoe paste but really just a drop of the paste
Can you eat this with fufu
Yes you can
Do vegan eat fufu? Asking because my doctor asked me to go completely veg.
Anytime I cook with palm oil, it gives my food an after taste. What am I doing wrong?
Its probably not good quality palm oil, I have bought that kind before. Search for a better source
I tried to make it tonight but my okra wasn't slimy so my soup didn't draw. Should I add water? What other leaves can you use? Cassava? Bitterleaf? Please help me!
So sorry to hear that. I’m not sure why that happened. Did you blend some of the okra? Doing so helps release the mucilage
Did you cover the pot while cooking? Maybe that’s why. In Nigeria, we don’t cover such soups so we don’t loose their slimy consistency.
Mmmmmm😋😋😋😋😋😋
I support vegan food only
We miss your Tutorials. 😩
