Afia Efere

Afia Efere is a Nigerian soup popular amongst the Ibibio/Efik tribe. The soup is also known as white soup due to absence of palm oil in it.

Origin

White soup is a soup prepared by people of the Southern region of Nigeria. It has two variations in Nigeria, the Igbo version and the Ibibio/Efik version. Afia Efere is similar to the Igbo soup 'Ofe Nsala' except that fewer ingredients are used, and the latter does not contain uyayak.

Overview

The oilless soup is made up of two main meats; goat or chicken, which are also called "Afiaefereebot" and "afiaefereunen", meaning white soup with goat and white soup with chicken respectively.
Other ingredients used in making the soup include uyayak, Ehu, uziza leaves, and crayfish.
