Creative Sunday - My "Vegetable Soup" Recipe

Hello to the Hive learners community!
It's a new week, a beautiful week for me as it's starting with the creative Sunday initiative and this time, I'm sharing recipe of a meal I prepared last week, vegetable soup (also called Efo Riro). It's really not easy making a video of cooking process but I was excited about this preparation.

It's one of my favourite soup because of the vegetables that is lavished in it and I made sure to do that much on it, a small meal but I was very intentional about the nutritional benefits I'll get from it so I didn't hold back in getting some of the ingredients to give the nutrient dose I wanted.

Before deciding to prepare the meal, I had a very rough week and was down in heath. Once I got myself back, I chose to treat myself to something nice at home by cooking this delicacy instead of buying out meals that might not even add anything for me and would be more expensive.

I enjoyed the process of making this meal and I'd love to share how I prepare mine, these are the ingredients I bought for my Vegetable soup. And the process is detailed in the video above.

  • Meat and Smoked fish.
  • Cowskin.
  • Palm Oil
  • Vegetables (Pumpkin, water and scent leaf).
  • Periwinkle and Snails.
  • Fresh tomatoes and pepper and onions.
  • Crayfish, prawns, maggi, salt and spices.

Aside the meat, fish and snails, the rest are cheap to buy and you can always choose to use whatever protein you want. I needed something to revitalize myself so I did a lot of extras with the ingredients but you can make do with little and still have a great taste of your vegetable soup.

The meal came out really delicious that I couldn't stop eating until I was so full. I mean, it's expected with all that stoppers and vegetables. Adding scent leaves seemed to have been a good hack in giving it a unique taste and aroma so I'm recommending you make sure to add it too if you decided to prepare the soup.

I do hope you enjoy watching the video, I tried using a voice over for the first time too. Your comments will be very much appreciated. It's always a pleasure to participate in this initiative and I'm grateful to the community for the opportunity and support. Until next time...

This vegetable soup looks really yummy making me feel hungry right now 😁 and having the craving to eat it immediately because vegetable soup is one of my favourite soups with all the nutrients it provides to the body.

You really did justice to this soup with all the nutrient base ingredients you added. That's a good job 👍👍

Good heavens! That soup looks incredible! We used to be able to just go down to the beach and grab fresh muscles, periwinkles and snails off the rocks, but Table View has just become so overcrowded and our beaches so polluted, that it's not really possible anymore. You can still get it right if you go further up the coast to more secluded areas. What a freaking amazing soup though! I'd love to give it a try!

We do something called a seafood "potjie." Look, potjies can be made from pretty much anything, like lamb, beef, pork or chicken, but I love the seafood ones. A potjie pot is where all the magic happens. It's a big wrought iron thig - look a bit like a witches pot, that we place over hot cols and let cook for a few hours while we warm up and get a bit "toasted" over good conversation before digging in!

I wonder why it is called 'vegetable' soup with all the meat and fish in it? But it looks delicious.
