Nsala soup is made with small pieces of yam with utazi leaves. The soup originates from the Eastern part of Nigeria and Delta State particularly Ogwashi-uku and Ubulu-uku towns. This delicacy is quite different from Banga soup and Afghan soup. A major ingredient of Nsala Soup is the cat fish which gives the soup a unique taste. Nsala is similar to Afia Efere common among the Efik ethnic group.[1]

Recipe

Nsala Soup is flavored with ogiri or iru, utazi, crayfish, yam, salt, seasoning, stock fish and dry fish. The soup is served with yam, eba, semolina or any kind of morsel.[2]
