Wash and precook the meat. Season before you set on heat, then let it cook for 10-15 minutes.

Wash the dried fish and add to the cooking meat on heat, you may add more water, you don't want the meat to dry and burn.

Let the meat and dried fish cook for the next 10 minutes. I used easy to cook meat, should be ready in just 10 minutes.

Combine dried ingredients (dawadawa, crayfish, groundnuts) and blend. Then set aside.

Also blend the combined tomatoes, shombo, pepper and set aside.

Set a clean pot on heat and add palm oil

Add the ground tomato/pepper/shombo after I heat the oil for 3-5 minutes.

Stir and let itfry for the next 10-15 minutes.

Once it is fred, add the cooked meat/fish, stir and let the soup boil for 3 minutes.

Add diced pumpkins and ground crayfish/dawadawa/groundnuts.

Stir all together and let the soup cook for 10 minutes as the pumpkins melt and thicken the soup.

Add salt to your taste.

Add sliced spinach leaves.
