soup peculiar to the Igbo tribe of Eastern Nigeria
Ofe onugbu, also known as bitterleaf soup, is a traditional delicacy of the Igbo people in the southeastern region of Nigeria. It is particularly associated with the Anambra people, and it is regarded as a native soup. Although it is called 'bitterleaf soup,' the dish is not bitter, as the leaves are thoroughly washed to reduce the bitterness before cooking.The dish is commonly eaten with carbohydrate-based staples such as akpụ, garri, pounded yam, and other similar staples.
