This is a spiritually powerful soup. I ate this soup for the first time in America and let me tell you that I slept soo deep and had some very vivid dreams. The way I slept after eating this soup. I've never slept that deep like that IN MY LIFE.... Nigerians call this Afang soup but I call this DREAM SOUP and BY FORCE, I'm going to learn how to make it. This soup is a healing soup.
Our Igbo turned Calabar woman. Thank you for the lecture, you did justice to this soup. As a typical Calabar man who knows about this soup, this is just it. Welldone Nne.
Am a Yoruba girl who get married to Igbo, my husband as been craving for Afang and I don't know how to cook it, but I thought of RUclips and this help me, thank you for this video❤
Girlll this soup was a hit back to Back! I can't stop eating it. This was hands down the best afang I have ever made. I had to find this video again so I can comment❤️!! My family loves it too. Guys this is your sign to follow who know road.. And that's Joyful cook🥰🥰 Thank you so much, nne❤️
Your cooking style is very similar to my mums. Love how you enjoy your own cooking. You have lovely hands and a soothing speaking voice. Writing from Poland. You're doing an amazing job. Keep on shining!
Just made this soup this night for the first time after watching this video and it was just wow!!! The smile on hubby's face can brighten thr darkest room. Thank sis
Oh my God you really cooked this soup the way Calabar people cook their Afang soup especially not adding onions. This is a real thumbs up 👍 👌 for you. Well done @Joyful Cook 👏👏👏
So I am watching from Joppa Maryland. But I am a Cameroonian born that loves to cook the calabar people share so many similar recipes with my culture the Bayangi people of Cameroon. Afang soup is like our Eru so similar!!!
I was searching for afang video, immediately I saw Ur name I said yes...this is what I'm looking for. I'm ur fan from Facebook ❤ thanks for the recipe ma'am
@@jennywinny4066 you are right but onions are not part of the traditional list of ingredients for afang soup! You can use onions but it doesn’t taste same. I’ve done it both ways and I used to wonder why my afang doesn’t taste as good as the ones I eat in cross river state! Until a grandma told me not to use onions and the result was a lot better! Same with ogbono soup! Secret from my very one grandma not to use onions in making it. But I love onions in every other meal. Except these two soups
Anytime l want to cook this soup,I always watch this your video before cooking, it's a top-notch, other people use to add onions.since I started making this soup your way my husband is so happy thank you so much for this recipe
We eat this in Cameroon too. We call it Eru. There's a slight difference with cooking method(we don't pound the Afang/eru leaves and we add water leaf when meat stock must have dried up but asides that every other thing is same and in cameroon this is one of best meals as well. Hard to see someone who doesnt love eru
As an Efik lady of Cross River state (where Afang originated) I’ll give you 80/100 U did well d only different is topping palm oil after adding Afang, Afang is always the last thing and it’s ready. 👍
Wow... Thanks for sharing. Just realized I've been overcooking the waterleaf and afang. I've also been getting the waterleaf/afang ratio wrong. Thank God for an opportunity to learn. I'm cooking this soup next and I'll do better
wow!!! Thanks so much ma for all your teaching, I always love your recipes, someone that teach me how to cook this said I must not wash the afang leaf if not the soup will be spoilt and that makes the soup look so unclean to me, I appreciate you ma.
As a proud akwa ibom boy this is the best soup on earth, since u are not from akwa ibom, hope ur husband is an akwa ibom man oooo ?..... U are the best
Thank you Joyful cook I have been following you for a while now and nearly all the soups I can cook now I learnt from your videos I just added this to the list yesterday and it turned out great❤😊
I just finished eating this soup n I love it but I learnt from u now that u didn't add onion, though I added onion to mine it still tasted good but next time I won't add onion. Thank u so much for this recipe
Your cooking process is what makes me can stop watching your cooking method you always take it from the grassroot to the finishing part i love that so much please keep it up ❤💯
wow we cook something similar in Cameroon. It's called ERU; we don't pound the ukazi leaves, we cook in its diced form from the market. we cook with palm oil, water leaves, enough cray fish, cow hide just like this... so yummy.
Wow....I really love the video you cook like my mom 😂I'm from Nigeria🇳🇬 but I'm living in a city called Mumbai India🇮🇳 this is my first time of washing your video I really love it 🥰
Chaii.GOD bless u.i feel so sorry for myself after watching how u washed ur Afang leave.ibdont know how to slice what shld I do? U re d BEST ever.Hugsss

That Afang aroma eh! Thats the best part!
For an Igbo woman...You nailed it! Not surprised though, we're good at whatever we do😊
Exactly. That's how I cook mine 😋
I have never seen a tribe who has soup more than Akwa Ibom.
@@nmg1909 We appreciate 🙏🏼 ❤️
Please is the water leaf a must?
This is a spiritually powerful soup. I ate this soup for the first time in America and let me tell you that I slept soo deep and had some very vivid dreams. The way I slept after eating this soup.

This is by far the best Afang soup recipe on the internet !!! The no onions means you know exactly what you’re doing!!!!!!
But onions add lots of flavour and test to food, even vegetable soups.

@@ososeesekie it's ok, just that I'm addicted to onion. Love it in every food
No onions in any vegetable soup gives a bland flat vegetable soup, including afang
I was about to ask why she didn't add onions . So they don't add onions to afang, I will try it out
Cooking this for my oga my fiance wish me good luck 🤞 tommorow 😂
How did it turn out?
You are the only one that really cooked correct Afang soup among every so called cook this is exactly how I prepare my afang soup 😊
And some wana be bloggers from Ghana siad igbo food is least on the list. Imagine from where to here, naw?
Anytime l want to cook this soup,I always watch this your video before cooking, it's a top-notch, other people use to add onions.since I started making this soup your way my husband is so happy thank you so much for this recipe
As a proud Akwa Ibom girl, this is the best soup 🥰🥰🥰🥰.... We should turn you to Calabar lady ohh
One of the best I have seen on the internet so far...thumbs up

Wow
Agree, am from Cameroon. Both methods are worth eating

@@naditaebony3538,,
As an Efik lady of Cross River state (where Afang originated) I’ll give you 80/100
U did well d only different is topping palm oil after adding Afang, Afang is always the last thing and it’s ready. 👍
I'm watching from Ibadan Nigeria.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I tried it and my husband loved it.
Yes you did well. As an Efik woman i can tell you that you cooked it the right way; without onions. 👍
Wow... Thanks for sharing. Just realized I've been overcooking the waterleaf and afang. I've also been getting the waterleaf/afang ratio wrong. Thank God for an opportunity to learn. I'm cooking this soup next and I'll do better
Awww 😍 enjoy mama ❤️❤️
@@joyfulcook I have both waterleaf and afang in my freezer. My afang is washed but not pounded. How do you advise I treat them before cooking?
@@NkiruedemaIf it's already cut and you're outside Nigeria, you can use your blender to grind it into little pieces with Just a little water
@@sunshiney15 Alright. Thank you
You are so good ma
