Afia Efere
Afia Efere // ⓘ is a Nigerian soup popular amongst the Ibibio/Efik tribe. The soup is also known as white soup due to absence of palm oil in it.[1][2]
Origin
[edit]White soup is a soup prepared by people of the Southern region of Nigeria. It has two variations in Nigeria, the Igbo version (Ofe Nsala) and the Ibibio/Efik version (Afia Efere). Afia Efere is similar to the Igbo soup 'Ofe Nsala' except that fewer ingredients are used, and the latter does not contain uyayak (a local seasoning).[3]
Overview
[edit]The oilless soup is made up of two main meats; goat or chicken, which are also called "Afiaefereebot" and "afiaefereunen", meaning white soup with goat and white soup with chicken respectively.[4]
Other ingredients used in making the soup include uyayak, Ehu (Calabash nutmeg), uziza leaves, and crayfish.[5]
