Our Nigerian Edika‑Iko Soup (Vegetable Soup) is a cherished delicacy from the Efik and Ibibio people of Southern Nigeria. This hearty soup is prepared with a vibrant mix of fresh vegetables — typically waterleaf and ugu — simmered in palm oil, peppers, onions, and authentic local seasonings.
Rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying, Edika‑Iko is traditionally cooked with assorted meats, fish, or seafood, creating a flavorful, nutrient‑packed dish that pairs perfectly with pounded yam, fufu, eba, semo, or rice.
This soup is loved for its bold taste, wholesome ingredients, and comforting, home‑style feel — a true celebration of Nigerian culinary heritage.
