draw soup — South East, Nigeria

Draw soup, which can be translated as "mixed soup," is the name of soups from the southeast and southwest of Nigeria made from okra leaves, ogbono (Irvingia gabonensis) or ewedu (jute). The name derives from the characteristic thick viscosity of the broth when it comes out of the bowl when eaten either with a spoon or, more typically, by dipping a small piece of solid (fufu) into it. Draw soup can be served with many Nigerian fufu-based dishes, particularly eba (garri) and pounded yam. Ewedu can be used to prepare a Yoruba soup that is traditionally served with amala. --- Entry compiled automatically from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5305996) and Wikipedia.
