    This is a spiritually powerful soup. I ate this soup for the first time in America and let me tell you that I slept soo deep and had some very vivid dreams. The way I slept after eating this soup. I've never slept that deep like that IN MY LIFE.... Nigerians call this Afang soup but I call this DREAM SOUP and BY FORCE, I'm going to learn how to make it. This soup is a healing soup.

I’ve done it both ways and I used to wonder why my afang doesn’t taste as good as the ones I eat in cross river state! Until a grandma told me not to use onions and the result was a lot better!

    Weldon and thank you for your good jobs always in cooking.
    Please can I make use of my blender to blend in the Afang leaf?

    Looks too good. Watching from the USA. What can I use in place of water leaf? Spinach? Please respond. Thank you so much.

    You nailed this. This is by far the best recipe.
