Marugbo soup is a soup from the people of Ondo state in Nigeria. It is made from marugbo leaves and other greens like efirin, akintola or iseletu. The dried leaves are what gives the soup its dark green to black coloring. The soup is said to be medicinal due to the vegetables in its preparation. It is best served with pupuru, a swallow made from processed cassava flour.
