My husband is from owerri but I have not prepared this for him before. My inlaws were doing shakara when I asked them to teach me how to cook it. Now I will confidently cook it on my own... Thanks Aunt Flo 💕

Weldone aunty Flo. D reason u have to transfer d soup into a container immediately is so d soup remains fresh, and d vegetable doesn't darken.. And I will eat d soup wit my cabbage fufu

I tried this today for the 1st time and I think I got it right; hubby ( from the east) testified. Thanks for your tutorial. I used smoked Turkey, mutton, stick and dry fish.
I am a Ghanaian but I hv come to love Nigeria foods ...It is tasty and easy to prepare, I am learning a lot from here ... thanks mum
Oooh yes... Aunty Flo has come back to my place... Ofe Owerri is a goal
I will eat this ofe owerri with pounded yam.I am from benue but I love ibo soups and Aunt Flo always hooks me up with the right recipes. High applause for you madame👏🏿👏🏿💃🏿
Aunt flo... This one is on point o.... Can't have enough of your cooking recipes .and technical.... Can even perceive the sweet aroma...
Mama you're truly a chef. Perfection is your second name.
I will eat this ofe owerri with oatmeal fufu. I believe the reason why you transfer the soup to a cool container would be so that you do not over cook the vegetables/nutrients since the stove is still hot. The soup looks delicious 😋👌 with lots of obstacles. Thank you so much for sharing. Another classic recipe from Flo.

This was so helpful. Thanks a lot ma and I love you’re fluency . So bold and clear . I will eat with akpu
Aunty Flo, I use food processor for pounding the cocoyam and it makes life easy biko, or sometimes i use blender, just add water and blend in small quantities, then adjust water in the soup. Thank you for this recipe, i am cooking it this weekend. (by the way i used your ofe achara- mgbam recipe to try out last weekend)
Waw I thought owerri soup has a different stuffs to cook it, I never knew it's just only a different meat/fish.. now I know and ready to enjoy by Friday. Thanks for your video
This one enter well well. I will download it with hot yellow garri or fufu, then wash down with water & go to sleep😴😴. I love combining palm fruit extract with a little palm oil. Big man soup👍.
Thank you for this, I have been looking for the next soup to prepare for my hubby.

Transferring it to a container helps the vegetable to stay green and stops it from over cooking.

God is Good He gave us His Son who died on the Cross for our sins for our Everlasting Life. Have you received Christ yet as your Saviour? If yet not in Christ do it today and repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Now is time for Salvation no more time to waste this is urgent. God Bless!!!!

This soup reminds me my favourite restaurant in Ikenegbu area in Owerri, I have been visiting each time I'm in Nigeria for many years now, my jaws always hurts because of too much stockfish and snails but price have been adding 500naira every year, last year was 4500 this year I expect 5k but its worth it,
