Dissolve potash with seasoning in water and add to the pot. Bring to boil. The presence of the tomatoes will mean it wouldn't bubble up as much.
Step 3: Leave it to cook and in a few minutes, you will notice that the addition of the potash has caused the prior watery stock to thicken a little. Take it off the heat and let it cool down a little.
Stir in Palm oil into the pot. The soup will thicken and the colour will change to a pale shade of yellowish orange
Serve with boiled yam or plantain.
