My favourite soup! I discovered it on a work trip to Port Harcourt, fell in love with it immediately, and the rest, as they say, is not history but in the recipe!

Origin: Native soup has roots in the South-South region of Nigeria, popularized by Port Harcourt indigenes in Rivers State. While it is subject to many alterations depending on your budget, the classic native soup is rich in assorted meats and seafood such as shrimps, prawns, stockfish, periwinkles, and fresh fish.
