Ewedu soup is a delicacy in Nigeria. Apart from being delicious and nutritious, it is very simple to make.
- First thing you need to do is to pluck the ewedu leaves one at a time. Then rinse and drain off the water, If the leaves have some sand in them, it is advisable to just use your hand to pack the ewedu leaves from the water so that the settled sand and stones will be left behind.
- Place the clean ewedu leaves inside a pot of hot boiling water and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or till the ewedu leaves become tender. At this point stir in the Locust bean, salt, and stock cube.
- From my mom she will just use the small traditional broom called ijabe to blend the ewedu until it becomes smooth. However, a blender will do this just fine. Just pour the boiled leaves inside your blender and blend till smooth. This will take a few seconds to a minute so be sure to keep an eye on it.
- You can serve with your favorite swallow like Eba, Pounded yam, fufu or just store in a container and put it in the fridge for whenever you want to use it.
