Cooking Instructions for making Mama’s Okra Soup

  • 2

    Now to the boiling water, layer the vegetables, starting with the okra then spinach and finally tomatoes

  • 3

    Let cook down without stirring. Stir vegetables together once it wilts down but being watchful as the mixture foams, that it does not overflow (this is a natural reaction to bicarbonate soda)

  • 4

    Gentle stir by lifting contents with a wooden spoon. Do not over-stir as you do not want to breakup the okra too much

  • 5

    Okra soup is ready when foam no longer tries to escape the pot (no longer comes all the way to the brim)
