Corn soup also known locally as omi ukpokais made with grounded dry corn and blended with smoked fish. It is common with the Afemai people, mainly from the northern part of Edo state south zone of Nigeria. The texture of corn soup is like Ofe Nsala or very light Egusi soup. Omi Ukpoka (corn soup) is best cooked and eaten at once. Corn tends to thicken further when cool. You may need to lighten soup with a little water if you have to.
