What is Ogbono?
Ogbono soup is made by grinding the seeds of the wild mango (ogbono), then cooking them with palm oil, peppers, seasoning, and assorted meat. The ground seeds create a distinctive thick, slightly mucilaginous texture — known in Nigerian cooking as a draw soup. It is deeply savoury and warming, best eaten with a swallow.
Ogbono is a draw soup — its thick, stretchy consistency is a key marker of quality. Prepared with palm oil, pepper, and assorted meat in the traditional method.
