*Tomatoes and onions are not traditionally used in many soups such as Edikang Ikong and Afang, Ora (Oha), Ogbono and Bitter Leaf, in which case the tomatoes and onions should be omitted.
Red bell peppers may be used as a substitute for tomatoes if you are not cooking these soups.
This will provide enough meat/stock for 3 - 4 pots of soup depending on how meaty you like your soups!
