How to make the best BANGA SOUP | Niger Delta Style

Nigerian Banga soup is a quick and delicious Niger-Delta style palm nut soup. It is very easy to make and packed full of flavour from the herbs and spices used in making it. You can have this soup from your kitchen to the table in 30 minutes, it is very similar to Ofe Akwu recipe (Ibo style) but they use different spices.
Ingredients
800 g palm fruit concentrate
1 tablespoon Banga spice you can buy a ready mix or simply make your own by blending Ataiko and Irugeje in a dry mill
1-2 tablespoons Beletete leaves
1 Oburunbebe stick
6 medium-size fresh catfish steak washed and gutted
2kg (4lb) cooked beef and assorted meat.
1 cup fresh shrimps
½ cup dried prawns
2-3 scotch bonnet blended
1 cup dried cod panla washed and shredded (optional)
1 cup periwinkle optional
2 Seasoning cubes or use as desired about 1 teaspoon stock powder
Salt to taste
1.6-litre water that includes the quantity of beef stock used or use as needed

I was just on your blog today getting tips on how to make this soup happen this week. Thank you for sharing! If I were to use fresh croaker fish, at what point do you suggest I add it?

[@myactivekitchen5494]

Thank you💃. The size of the fish would determine how long you cook it for. I would still say you do 10 minutes before you take the soup off the heat. If its is not a big sized fish, 10 minutes should be more than enough. The remaining heat from the soup while you let it sit would help finish the cooking process. 🙌

[@donaldovercomer9192]

Hi I just subscribed to ur Channel. Thanks for the awesome video. Pls is Bouillon Powder same as Stock Cubes (Maggi) and also the Beletete leaf is only used in making Banga, right?

[@myactivekitchen5494]

Thank you, Donald. Yes bouillon is the same as maggi, I only use beletete leaves for banga. I am sure there would be other use for it.
