Miyan Kuka is a popular soup that is usually eaten in the Northern part of Nigeria. Soups are an important part of our culture as Nigerians, thus it’s no surprise that different types of soups are offered in every town. The Yorubas adore Ewedu, the Igbos adore Ofe ugba, and the Edos like bitter leaf soup, not to mention the famed fisherman’s soup of the people of the river.

Miyan kuka is a delicacy of Hausa origin. If you have ever been to the north, you must have noticed some dark green powder sold in northern markets by the traders; that is what northerners call Kuka
