Boil the fish in salted water for 10 minutes, separate it into large pieces, and reserve the broth.
Cook the onion and tomatoes in oil for 7 minutes.
Add the chopped okra, hot pepper, and fish broth, then boil until thickened.
Add the spinach and cook until the greens wilt.
Return the fish pieces to the soup and warm over low heat for 8 minutes.
Adjust the salt, rest for 5 minutes, and divide into bowls.
💡 Tip: Finely chopping the okra increases the soup natural body, so you do not need to thicken it with flour.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with plain rice or maize porridge for a filling meal.
