Oha soup(a.ka;Ora/Uha soup or Ofe Oha/uha/ Ora) is a delicious Soup recipe from the eastern part of Nigeria. It is one of those native Igbo soups that you taste and just can't forget. This rich and nutritious soup is usually prepared with the leaves of the African Pterocarpus soyauxii / Pterocarpus mildbraedi tree, known traditionally as Oha leaves. First, I'd like to say that Palm oil can be substituted for the akwu (palm fruit juice) but to get that original traditional taste and feel, I'd be using palm fruit juice extract (akwu) instead of palm oil. Before you start cooking, Extract the oil from the Aku(Palm kernels) into a large pot then boil till the water.
