Nsala soup — Nigeria

Ofe Nsala , also known as white soup, and called nsala soup, is a delicacy that originates from the eastern part (Ala Igbo) of Nigeria. A major ingredient is catfish, which gives the soup a unique taste. It also contains small pieces of yam or cocoyam with utazi leaves. Nsala is similar to Afia Efere, which is common among the Efik ethnic group. The name white soup is used because palm oil is not used in its preparation, unlike other traditional soups. The method of preparation without palm oil gives it a light, creamy appearance, while yam is used as a natural thickener. --- Entry compiled automatically from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q25056844) and Wikipedia.
