Achi (Oha) Soup – The Creamy Velvet-Leafed Nigerian Treasure

Rich, velvety, and oh-so-comforting. Achi (Oha) Soup is the Eastern Nigerian delicacy that feels like a warm embrace. Thickened with finely blended achi seeds and brimming with tender beef, dried fish, and a medley of native spices, and herbs including uziza and oha leaves, it delivers layers of flavour in every mouthful. Pair it with pounded yam, fufu, or eba, and you have got a dish that is as much about heritage as it is about taste. One bowl and you will understand why it is a staple in Igbo kitchens.
