Ewedu soup is a Nigerian soup created by the Yoruba ethnic group. It is made from jute leaf, hence it is known as jute leaf soup.[1] Similar to Okra soup, the soup is mucilaginous in texture and is a typical accompaniment to Yoruba beef stew and fish stew. Ewedu soup takes about 12 minutes to prepare and is often served with Iyan, fufu or Amala. Jute leaves, known as Ewedu can be cultivated in containers, providing a convenient way to grow this nutritious leafy vegetable. Ensure you use well-draining soil and keep the pot in a sunny location. Regular watering is essential, but avoid waterlogging.Ewedu matures between one or one and a half months of planting.
