Nsala soup

Nsala soup, also known as white soup, and called ofe nsala by the Igbo people, is a delicacy that originates from the eastern part of Nigeria. A major ingredient is catfish, which gives the soup a unique taste. It also contains small pieces of yam or cocoyam with utazi leaves. Nsala is similar to Afia Efere, which is common among the Efik ethnic group.

The name white soup is used because palm oil is not used in its preparation, unlike other traditional soups.
