Ogbono soup (Draw Soup) is a rich, nutrition-packed Nigerian soup made from ogbono seeds (ground African mango seeds), palm oil, assorted meats, and traditional spices. It packs a lot of bold and rich flavors and is incredibly delicious!
Ogbono soup is commonly eaten with fufu dishes like pounded yam or eba. It is called ‘Draw Soup’, due to the mucilaginous nature that gives it a slippery and viscous texture.
It might take some getting used to due to this texture, but once you taste it, it really does taste amazing and it makes your fufu go down easily!

Making the Peppered Gizzards Add the stock cube, the thyme and big chunks of onions into the gizzards. If you marinated them, just add the onions.

I love this soup for many reasons:
For starters, it is made with vegetables, and those are synonymous with health.
