Authentic African soups, in your kitchen.
Ofe (pronounced ‘Oh-feh’) means ‘soup’ in the Igbo language of Eastern Nigeria. In African culture, soup is everything — the heart of a meal, the centre of a gathering, the taste of home.
Ofe is Livora's authentic African soup-kit brand. Each kit contains all the natural ingredients you need to prepare one of Africa's most beloved soups — together with a step-by-step guide that lets anyone prepare an authentic African meal in minutes.
No shortcuts. No compromises. Just the real flavours of home.
Six of Africa's most beloved soups
Egusi
A West African soup made with ground melon seeds. Traditionally served with pounded yam or fufu at family gatherings and celebrations.
Ogbono
Made from ground wild-mango (ogbono) seeds — rich, earthy and naturally drawing. A staple across southern Nigeria.
Black Soup (Omoebe)
A traditional soup from the ancient Benin Kingdom, built on a blend of native bitter and aromatic leaves.
Bitter Leaf
Known in Igbo as ofe onugbu — washed bitter leaves give it a savoury depth served at home and at ceremonies.
Pepper Soup
A light, aromatic spiced broth enjoyed across Nigeria — warming, intensely flavourful, and endlessly comforting.
Efo Riro
A traditional Yoruba stew of leafy vegetables and locust bean (iru) — rich, savoury and deeply aromatic.
