Nigerians are known for so many beautiful things like their culture, tradition, style and sense of fashion and most importantly, their food.

All the tribes in Nigerians have their specialities but the on thing they have in common is their ability to make delicious soup that can be eaten by anyone and everyone .

Some of these soups require little or more ingredients to be prepared and because of these, we have decided to bring to you top 5 Nigerian soups everyone should try.
