Nsala soup, also known as white soup, and called ofe nsala by the Igbo people,[1] is a delicacy that originates from the eastern part of Nigeria. A major ingredient is catfish, which gives the soup a unique taste. It also contains small pieces of yam or cocoyam with utazi leaves. Nsala is similar to Afia Efere, which is common among the Efik ethnic group.[2]
The name white soup is used because palm oil is not used in its preparation, unlike other traditional soups.
