DIRECTION How to cook Nigerian vegetable soup with tomatoes
- Stir fry the onion and chopped tomatoes in hot oil with pepper and one seasoning cube. Stir till onion is translucent. My tomatoes are frozen, so, the skin came off easily. You can pour boiling water on tomatoes or freeze to remove skin before chopping.
- Add washed vegetables, stir very well, cover and leave for about a minute before adding crayfish and the remaining seasoning cube. Note that you may also fry the crayfish with the onion and tomatoes o. cover to cook for at least half a minute.
- Stir, check for taste and salt before turning off the heat.
Soup can be served with fufu, tuwo, eba, semo, amala, rice, plantain, yam, etc.
