PRO TIP:

The Oha soup is a very delicate soup, made with delicate leaves. It is advisable to use fresh Oha leaves when cooking. It’s enjoyable that way. Also, when you’re cutting the Oha leaves, don’t use a knife, use your hands to shred them into bits. You can use a knife to slice the uziza leaves in tiny bits, but not the Oha leaves.
