This past weekend, I decided to cook some efo soup; it was my very first time cooking efo soup. If I had known it was such an effortless activity, I would have done it sooner. I cooked a rather small pot of soup because it was my trial soup, and I was not sure how it would turn out. I’m not sure how well to convey the goodness of this soup. Well, let me put it this way: my mom literally chased me around the kitchen island. Yes, she wanted more of my efo soup.
My only regret is that I did not cook a bigger pot of soup. Oh, the other regret is that I did not have any pounded yam, so I had to eat it with farina. Sigh. Farina just doesn’t have the same effect as pounded yam. It does not glide. It just passes through. You probably don’t need me to tell you that this soup, too, is a sure husband getter. And permanent keeper. I just need to cook both soups, and then, go to a male-infested, testosterone-breeding ground and serve it to them. Unfortunately, the male bathroom is not suitable. Some other time, I guess.

The soup looks SOOOO good…perfect for a cold winter day!! I've never heard of Efo, though, but it sure looks delicious!!! I'd say any man who marries you is gonna be one very happy guy!

NaijaBloke: That's what you get for leaving me for Temite. Tell me, does Temite cook yummy dishes like this one for you? Tell me, does she? I bet she doesn't!
Beulah: I sure hope your laptop is water-resistant. Or at least, drool-resistant?
Helene: Tehehe. Preach on! If you can, please tell it on the mountains… and over the hills … and everywhere. Okay, I'll stop the poor rendition of that song, Go Tell It On The Mountains. Efo soup is a Nigerian soup, and I would totally love to cook it for you and the double twins some day 🙂

abeg, that your Okra soup has just…….it was just too much. Ive taken breakfast, but im already hungry for something like Pandi and that your Okra soup. I can just about hear the sounds good okra makes as it slides down my throat.
Vera Ezimora says
Ibiluv: Thanks, honey. But was your soup as good as mine? Impossicant! 🙂
Temmy Tayo: I wouldn't usually do this favor for other people, but because it's you, I jejely DHLed the soup to you. I suggest you go and stand at your door right now and wait for DHL.
Tigeress: Where? Is it between me and the soup? By the way, whatever happened to you coming to MD before Christmas?
MyPenMyPaper: LOL! See, the way you just described the okra soup, I could not resist swallowing a big gulp of spit. I do, in fact, know that feeling of good okra soup gliding through your throat. Good stuff.

My favorite client, Merry Xmas! As we are trying to get that proposal, kindly send me the recipes to those soups. I shall reward you abundantly.
Vera Ezimora says
Luscious Ron: E-mail me, boo. I'll send you the recipes.

wow, these stew pics are such that someone can just stare at early in the morning and be energized for feeding fat.
I bet if you show these to anyone sick who claims to have lost appetite, he or she would be back in this hungry world asap.
These are some mouth watering, tongue itching, saliva enhancing pictures, the only thing that comes to my mind is: LORD LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
If I can find a wife to give me these everyday, in fact, you know what: "I'll do" forever and forever.
