Draw soup
ewedu leaves |
Draw soup is the name of soups from the southeastern and southwestern parts of
ogbono(Irvingia gabonensis), or ewedu leaves (jute).[2] The name derives from the thick viscosity characteristic of the broth as it draws out of the bowl when eaten either with a spoon or, more characteristically, by dipping a small piece of solid (fufu)[3] into it. It can be served with numerous Nigerian fufu meals, including eba (garri) and pounded yam. Ewedu[4] can be used to make a Yoruba soup that is traditionally served with amala
.
