I Cooked Delta Urhobo Owho Soup | Flo Chinyere 

Wow! My dearest Flo, five years ago!!! I was grinning from ear to ear. Well done, nwanem. It looks so yummy! I love the idea of grinding the Gari to a powder form too. Great tip!

You did good, I mean for an Igbo girl who did not even grow up in the Niger Delta. A few quick advice: 1. The akawun(potash) does not thicken the soup, its job is to prevent the palm oil from floating on top of the soup like you see in any other palm oil food/soup. 2. You do not have to grind your garri to a powdery form, just soak it in water at the beginning of your preparation. Also, make sure it is a bit watery when you add to the soup. 3. When cooking, add the pepper to your mix(water and choice(s) of protein) allow to cook for a while then add the palm oil and the preferred seasoning(you add crayfish, perewinkle etc); also allow this to cook before adding the potash(which you would have soaked as well from the beginning). Let this mixture cook for a while over low heat while stirring intermittently to prevent an overflow. At this point you add your soak garri and stir as you add. P.S. The job of the garri will be a lot easier if you dissolve edible starch in it. At this point your OWHO SOUP is ready whenever you are ready!

I am an Urhobo girl my dad is from Okorodafe and my mum from Sapele. I can tell you this is basically Owo soup the only think missing from this lovely meal is Usi (starch). But everything else is amazing and your making me run to get some now. My mum adds periwinkle to the soup to add texture it’s amazing.

This is what I love about Nigerian cooking. Never in a hurry. A lot of patience, time, love of the entire process.

aunty flo d flo! My husband almost bite off his fingers when eating dis food oo😂😂😂. he was praising me that i have great ideas of bringing new recipies. d day he will catch me ehh!

My sister you try,you can soak the garri with cold water,you won't see lumps,for less use of potash,we use native palm oil and starch. Thanks for trying out my native soup.

Actually the potash is not a thickner rather to give your owo soup a bright colour,flavour & taste. Normally the Urhobos use fermented palm oil known as native/Urhobo. It's very thick & expensive. Owo soup can also be prepared with semi dried water leaves & it's also delicious. When next you prepare Owo soup add shelled periwinkle & shrimps, you will thank me later. Well done!

Diluted but proudly AUTHENTIC Urhobo daughter of the Delta here! Thank you for your recipe of my favorite Owheri! 💞 We no dey finish las! Banga dey! Ukodo dey! You wan try Urhobo and our traditional food? 🥘😋

Urhobo wadoooo, thanks my sister for this video, as an urhobo woman I have seen thinking of how to cook this food because I love eating it, but it's very delicate, little mistake can spoil the whole pot, but now I have the courage to try it by using your methods. Bless you 🙏👍❤

My husband is an American and he tried really enjoyed it thanks for this video

I aint no Nigerian at heart but i have Aba state herritage Lagos, Anambra, Benin, port harcourt, Enugu jeees! my ancestors are everywhere over there 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Aunty flo am a full born urhobo Girl no mixture lol 😆 and am must confess u really tried because it’s not easy for someone to cooked this soup without learning it . Nice one.

Aunt flo you are so smart with your kitchen sence ,Look how you transformed white to yellow garri. Well done, nice upload

Yay!!!! 🕺🕺💃 mama we made it. My comments popped up on aunty flo's channel 😁😁. I'm so excited. Aunty Flo thank you for this new recipe. Would try it and give you a feedback as always

Hi, we add the garri powder first before the water comes to a boil and keep stirring constantly. Then dilute some starch in cold water and add to the soup for thickening after adding native oil.

I can see myself eating this Owo Soup. Flo you always seem to teach your viewers something new daily in your videos. Flo, you are a genius. I agree with Uche on how neat/clean your kitchen is and also how you simplify everything you do in your videos. Thanks for sharing. What did you do with the excess garri? I like your method of making yellow garri as well. You are amazing! Can't wait for more videos!

Original catering practical! I love!

As Uhrobo Gurl I can't do without this Food 😍😍😍😍

A simpler way to blend your garri is to add it to a lot of water in a blender. The garri should be the base of your soup. You add starch at the ending of of the cooking. Palm oil is added after the garri base has cooked out to form a sort of thick peppersoup. I cook out the palm oil. Never use salt with starch as thickener - we as Itsekiri only use native salt. I am not sure of Akaun cause my mother who is Igbo but with Itsekiri mother never put Akaun, to the best of my knowledge. Anyhow, you did well. Any knowledge in cooking is experience gained. Thanks for sharing

Yes o, my sis you trying and Waffarians no dey carry last atall. I will try this for my lovely Urhobo friends,hihihi and will see their reaction.

My husband is from Delta, Aboh, he's Delta Igbo, seems like he didn't eat that starch growing up. He never asks for it.

This is great, Flo, u have demystified the cooking of owo soup. Well done. Pls ripe plantain cake when u have time plssss.

I have never eating dis soup 🍲 before but as a good wife I love trying new recipes in my house am going to try it because I love cooking new things for my husband hahah he will say pls cook 👩‍🍳 what we can eat oooo nice 👍

I'm going to marry an Urhobo woman; she told me of this soup. I can't wait to try this!

Wow this is ver lovely 🌹🌹 i like the way u prepared ur own.

Dó oooo... Truly Deltans swear by it because... the soup is eaten with Eba.. Rice.. Yam.. Plantain.. even with Tapioca when made soft.. Love from USA.. I just ordered the spice grinder from Amazon.. i have been looking a spice grinder and good to see that you recommend one that you use.. Thank you..

Mama I love the part you showed us how to make red garri out of white garri

I love it, must especially when eating it yam

Kudos to you my dear! There's nothing you can't make! Good job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!!

Try blending the garri with water in a blender to make a thick paste that you will add to your peppersoup base that you have put spices and unripe plantain into. Once cooked through, mash half the plantain and add to peppersoup garri potage. We Itsekiri use native salt, NEVER salt because soup will never thicken. We add starch at the end of all ingredients. Delta Itsekiri MUST have garri in the soup. My mother's secret was a little ground onion into the soup. The Binis add tomato and onions into their soup, which is sacrilege to Itsekiri. However in cooking, anything goes as long as its sweet

This your method is quite easy. Thanks

I'm not Urobo ooo, but I have to comment that I love this and would give it a trial. Thanks so much Aunt Flo

the intro is the funniest so far!!!

I’m married to my Urhobo husband and Owoh soup is his favorite

You did well! 🥰! I like your personality on camera 👌🏾

I was born there in delta state, I swear down dis is Yummy... Lovely

All my friends were wondering how I prepared the owho soup thanks very much.

The soup looks so yummy with a lot of assorted

I really need to buy your cook book. What can't you cook!

Wow am speechless thank aunty flo. my mum sometimes add water leaves to her owoh

Ah aunty Flo, me I am a very diluted urhobo child ooo😂😂😂😂

Linking this to ncha was brilliant! Aunty Flo I think you did an awesome job, I grew up eating this with seafood and starch. I love the way you made it to suit your comfort level, food is life. Lots of love, Ijey.

I love the taste

I will try it today Sunday it's superb

Well done sis. You be correct.

Looks good. Nicely done Flo.

My sister you tried.... I am confirm uroboh woman. Sis, u try. Welldone 💕

Aunty Flo has come again ooh. I have learnt how to make yellow garri, the souo also looks delicious and it's calling my name. Wow

Chei Aunty Flo, This owho soup is calling my full uhrobo name oooh :) And I have refused to learn how to cook it, but you have inspired me. Thank you so much, it looks very very delicious. Kudos to you for making the garri yellow with palm oil, another idea I have learnt today. I think I need to need use my Tapioca starch to make Usi (Uhrobo starch)

In place of the garri then preparing this Owoh soup. Can't cocoyam, Achi or Ofo better. I don't think I like the feeling of garri inside a soup but it looks nice though!

I love her channel

Beautifully done and very inviting. I wish you will be able to calculate the calories of all your cookings so that people with certain health problems would know if it is for them.

Well done the soup look very delicious

Great video,will try it out any of this days

Wow looking for something different so will difunately trying diz and who kws might add a little uziza leaf or seed to give it a twist.tnk u so much.

Perfect..I learn a new style

You really done a great job I will give you 80% pass mark✔👍🏿 If you want it to be more yellow and smooth you will use starch( alternative of garri) And you put the oil and the potash on it own not mix together🤔 You try sha 👏🏿

Thank u for the recipe☺

The soup looks like owho. But the pattern is crazy

Potash mixed d oil well . Garri and starch is thickener

Nice one aunty Flo,am going to give it a try need some dat look and taste different for a change..

Good job ma. Biko aunty Flo, potash is not good for pregnant woman. Pls advise ur viewers on this. I was about to quickly prepare my own owho soup, until it occurred to me dat potash is not safe for pregnant women. I'm urhobo, but I have to use only garri as thickener or avoid dis soup until after delivery.

Pls help a sister, becos I feel like eating owo 😫 but my fear is dat: can I eat owo during pregnancy, I mean does potash affect pregnancy? Thanks 😊

Please what is the name of the dry fish u usually make use of. Looks lovely with lots of chewables lol.

Hahahahahaha lol....Aunty flo..don't finish it ooo am coming for my own....thanks for your enlightenment of the soup...I love you so much😘💝

Biko am coming with my plate🚶🚶🚶🏃🏃🏃

Now am hungry this looks delicious 🤤

Dis woman u don make me miss dis food ooo

lol! I actually chuckled when you added the oil to give the yellow Garri. You are so innovative! Quick question tho,is there any reason why you dont make soup and stew in your pressure pot like you mentioned in the video? I'm just curious o, after your video on pots I'm trying to learn proper pot care. Thank you

Lovely I know it will taste good with yam.

Nice one there very innovative keep it up.Awesome.

The soup is beautiful
