Eaten mostly for lunch and dinner with any swallow of your choice.

Melon - I already bought the grinded melon from the market.
Which is considered the main ingredient in this soup.
I bought a cup and I used all for the soup.

Meat - I used beef and chicken for this soup.

Both in little quantities.

I also added little kpomo to the soup to create a little obstacle in the meal.

I decided to go for the periwinkle without shell.

I used a bulb of onions as part of my spices.

After grinding the peppers, I noticed it wasn't so hot and spicy as praised in the market.

I blended the crayfish immediately after the fresh peppers, that some of the pepper mixed in them.

Crayfish also serves as a spice.

This is the palm oil I used, so fresh and cool.

Salt to taste

I used Maggi as my bullion cube, I used two cubes for the soup.

The vegetable I used, I noticed how small it is after plucking and cutting it.

I started by seasoning the beef, chicken, and kpomo with grinded fresh peppers, chopped onions, a cube of maggi, and half tablespoon of salt.

Then, I cooked them for some time before adding the periwinkle.

I brought it down and set it aside.

Next I scooped two kitchen spoons of the stock and added it to the melon.
It formed a paste.

****Procedure for the main soup making****

In a dry pot, I added little oil, allowed it to be hot.
Then, I added a pinch of salt, some onions, and the paste melon.
I stir-fried them for a while before adding the blended crayfish until the melon formed little balls.

Then, I added all the stock with obstacles inside and allowed to cook together.

I added hot leaf, stirred them together, and reduced the heat before turning off the cooker.

Our soup is ready 😋

This can be eaten with any swallow of your choice.

I will be enjoying mine with fufu that I bought from the market.
