Notes: - Other thickeners can still be used like cocoyam paste, ground oats, mashed Irish potatoes but the gold standard thickener is Yam.
- The difference between Ofe Nsala White Soup and Afia Efere White Soup is that Afia Efere uses Uyayak (Aidan fruit) and doesn't use Uziza seeds, Uda, Ogiri, Utazi or Uziza leaves.
