THE HEALTHIEST AND TASTIEST OKRO SOUP RECIPE EVER

Where at thou hot 'Akple' (steamed pliable dumpling made out of Corn)?

That’s the question you will be asking when you make this flavour packed and healthy Okro soup. I used frozen baby Okra that I purchased from Sainsburys and blended the Okra using the lowest setting of my Vitamix blender. This makes for a quick recipe.
