6. Mold the pounded yam into small balls and place in the pot of soup.

7. Allow to cook for 20 minutes on medium heat until yam balls dissolves and thicken the soup. Stir occasionally.

9. Add the washed dried fish steaks, reduce gas heat and allow to simmer for another 5 minutes. Then turn off the gas and enjoy.

10. Enjoy.

Note: 

The yam is enough to thicken you soup. However, if you find the soup too thick, by all means add more water. Hope you find this recipe helpful. 
Because I cannot easily assess Utazi leave, I did not add to this soup. If you can buy them, please add to the soup, it gives a unique taste. 

Love Always, 

Belle.
