Ewedu soup
Ewedu soup is a soup created by the Yoruba ethnic group. It is made from jute leaf, hence it is known as jute leaf soup. Similar to Okra soup, the soup is mucilaginous in texture and is a typical accompaniment to Yoruba beef stew and fish stew. Ewedu soup takes about 12 minutes to prepare and is often served with pounded yam, fufu and Amala. Cooks pluck jute leaf, rinse with water and blend, add crayfish, locust bean (also known as iru), and salt to taste. It is mixed and pounded traditionally with an ‘’ijabe’’ (traditional broom or whisk) and kaun (potash), but can be made using a blender. Accompaniments
