Ogbono Soup

Ogbono Soup is a beloved Nigerian draw soup made from ground ogbono seeds, which are the dried seeds of the African wild mango tree. When cooked, these seeds create a distinctively thick, mucilaginous soup with a slippery, stretchy texture that Nigerians affectionately call draw soup. Rich with assorted meats, dried fish, and vegetables, ogbono soup is a comfort food that pairs beautifully with any swallow, making every bite slide down smoothly and satisfyingly.
