As one who loves to cook, I never snooze when I have an opportunity to elevate my culinary skills.
Today, I decided to prepare a little but healthy and sumptuous meal for myself. Also, as a student, whenever I have the chance to cook, I use my best abilities to do my best.

On this day, I had some cash to make achi for myself. Being in the hostel has been bitter-sweet. There are only some soup that you can purchase; sometimes, I get tired of repeating stuff so it’s always fun getting to cook.

I got home and these were the things I used to prepare but little but sumptuous achi soup.

Ingredients:
  • Achi
  • Crayfish
  • Maggi
  • Pepper
  • Salt
  • Palm oil
  • Uziza
  • Smoked fish
  • Cowskin
  • Stockfish
  • Periwinkle

These are the ingredients I used to prepare the soup, and it’s because they were the things I had at hand. You could say a student was on budget here. You could add as many things as you wish.

Step 1
First, wash the cowskin, cut the periwinkle, and fish, and have them cooked properly, except the fish, since it’s been smoked already.

Another thing I prepare here is to mis my achi with some cold water to make it a pasta almost. Some people choose to sprinkle the powder in the pot as they stir it. But I prefer mixing mine. The steaming of these is to make it cook well.

Step 2
This is the part you have to add more water to it, just the quantity you need for the soup. Just after this, add some palm oil to it. This would also help the water mix properly with the oil. If there’s one thing I look out for in every soup, it’s the ability for to make it difficult for one to differentiate between the oil and water in the soup.

Step 3
Once the water and oil are done mixing, it’s to add my already mixed achi to the pot and allow it to cook for a few minutes. I don’t like bubbles of the achi as I begin to eat, so I take my time to smash every bubble I can possibly find. Right after this, I leave my pot uncovered and cook for two to three minutes.

Step 4
This is where I pour in all my ingredients including the adding my fish to it. My crayfish usually come last. I feel like the reason is somehow not thought off, but I like the taste of it half-done.

After the crayfish and other ingredients comes my uziza leaves. This is what brings out the aroma so well. I like the vegetable also half-done. So, once it’s in my pot, I bring it down, stir and serve.

You may choose to have this with garri, fufu, semolina, or any other thing as you so wish.
This is how my achi was served. Hope you got to learn a thing here.

Thanks for reading through.
