The soul of the pot
Nigerian native soups carry generations of flavour — and Winnie's Native Soup Spice is built to honour them. This deep, savoury blend brings the earthy, aromatic backbone that afang, ogbono, egusi and vegetable soups are known for, so your pot tastes the way home should.
No MSG, no fillers — just real prawns, crayfish, bonga fish and native seeds, balanced for richness you can taste.
Perfect for: afang · atama · ogbono · egusi · vegetable soup · ofada · native jollof · native spaghetti · yam porridge · beef stock
How to use: Two tablespoons for a medium soup pot — stir in and let it bloom into the broth. Adjust to taste.
