White Soup (Ofe Nsala)

White Soup (Ofe Nsala)

Experience the delicate, aromatic flavours of our traditional ofe nsala, a prized Igbo delicacy known for its white color and rich, peppery taste. This unique soup gets its distinctive appearance from the absence of palm oil, allowing the natural flavors of yam, spices, and protein to shine through in a light, creamy broth.

What Makes It Special

Our ofe nsala is prepared the authentic Igbo way with pounded yam or cocoyam as a thickener, fresh utazi leaves for a subtle bitter note, uziza seeds for aromatic spice, ground crayfish, and your choice of tender chicken, catfish, or assorted meat. The result is a smooth, milky-white soup with a complex flavor profile - peppery, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
