Ogbono Soup is a Nigerian dish made with ground dry Ogbono seeds. Ogbono seeds (the local name for Irvingia) originated and were first grown in Nigeria.

For individual preferences, Ogbono soup can be cooked together with Egusi, it can also be cooked together with Okra. These methods are likely ways to make the soup thicker and spicier.

It can be eaten with fufu, semo, wheat swallow,with p ounded yam, or the processed and fried garri. In other countries the soup may be available in packaged prepared form in some markets that specialize in Western African foods. Ogbono soup has a mucilaginous draw texture, similar to okra soup
