#thecolour of the soup is because of the blended pepper I added. The person I prepared it for loves pepper alot.
Procedure
Properly wash the chicken, smoked and dry fish and set aside then season and cook the chicken with the dried fish, adding seasoning Cubes and salt to taste. Cook until done and set aside
Peel the yam cubes and boil until soft, then pound to a smooth paste, using a mortar and pestle.
Now add the yam paste bit by bit and cover the soup to cook until the paste is completely dissolved and the chicken is well done. Now, add the pepper, crayfish, Uziza and smoked fish.
Finally, add the utazi leaves, taste for salt and seasoning cubes and simmer for 1-2 mins.
The nsala soup is ready best served with pounded yam.
