Ogbono soup is a Nigerian dish made with ground ogbono seeds,[1] with considerable local variation. The ground ogbono seeds are used as a thickener, and give the soup a black coloration.[1] Besides seeds, water and palm oil, it typically contains meat, seasonings such as chili pepper,[1] leaf vegetables and other vegetables. Typical leaf vegetables include bitterleaf and celosia. Typical other vegetables include tomatoes and okra. Typical seasonings include chiles, onions, and iru (fermented locust beans).[1] Typical meats include beef, goat, fish,[1] chicken, bush meat, shrimp, or crayfish. It can be eaten with fufu,[1] pounded yam, or with rice. In other countries the soup may be available in packaged prepared form in some markets that specialize in Western African foods.[1]
