Ofè-Ujuju has its origins in the Igbo speaking part of Delta State, Nigeria. This soup is very easy to make, the only hard thing about this recipe is the leaves itself. The leaves may be a little hard to find if you don’t live in the region and the leaves cannot be substituted with another vegetable, otherwise it won’t be Ujuju Soup anymore.. yes☺
