Oil Free Nigerian Soup – Efo (Vegetable)

I often get questions on how to make oil- free Nigerian soups. Honestly, It’s really as simple as just skipping the oil; there is no magic trick to it. One thing I always consider when preparing oil free soups is the purpose oil serve in the soup, let me explain. In the case of efo-riro for example, oil serves two purposes. It enhances the color of the prepared vegetable soup and it also adds to the taste. In the case of okro, egusi and ogbono soup, oil especially helps with color enhancement.
