Ofe Nsala, also known as White Soup, is a traditional Nigerian soup that originates from the Igbo ethnic group. It is a delicacy appreciated for its light and refreshing flavors.
Ofe Nsala is typically prepared with fresh fish, usually catfish or tilapia, and a combination of spices and herbs. The soup gets its distinctive taste from the use of utazi leaves, which contribute a bitter-sweet flavor, and the addition of yam or yam powder, which acts as a thickening agent.
The soup is usually cooked with a generous amount of pepper, onions, and crayfish, giving it a delightful aroma and a mild spicy kick. Ofe Nsala is cherished for its simplicity, yet it manages to deliver a delicious and satisfying meal that is enjoyed by many across Nigeria and beyond.
