Add palm oil, locust bean and the blended ingredients to the pot. Allow the soup to come to a boil. Taste for salt and seasoning and adjust if necessary. Add the dry fish to the pot as well as the cocoyam yam paste. This paste is the thickener used in cooking this soup. I usually add the cocoyam in lumps for easy dissolution. Also, note that your preferred consistency for this soup determines the quantity of cocoyam you put. If you want your soup thick, add more cocoyam. If you want it watery, add less cocoyam.
Once the cocoyam paste is dissolved, add the smoked fish. Stir in the okazi leaves. Leave it to simmer for about three minutes. Add the ugu leaves, stir again and turn off the heat.
Food is ready. You can enjoy this soup with pounded yam,
