Prepare your soup.
Wash your meat, chicken, fish, and seafood. Cut chicken into 1 1/2

crab and break apart. Combine all in pan with shrimp.

to spread seasoning evenly. Let sit for 20 minutes.
Put all your meat in a deep pot. Add one half of onion to pot. Add
a small piece of Hot Pepper. (see Tips below). Add 2 cups of water
and cook half-covered on medium high for 20 minutes.
Spoon all your meats from pot and put in a bowl. Set aside.
Make your cassava leaf.
Add cassava leaf to the pot with the remaining water. Add 1 tsp of
seasoned salt, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/4 tsp of black pepper. Add second
half of chopped onion.
Half cover pot and cook on medium. Stir frequently, scraping bottom
of pan with cook spoon. Cook until water is almost dried.
Add meats and palm oil. Bring to boil on medium. Reduce heat to low,
and continue to cook, stirring frequently. Be careful not to let the
sauce stick to the bottom of the pan. Taste your sauce. If you would
like more salt, add a chicken soup. Or carefully add more salt.
Cook until dry. Your sauce is dry when you can no longer see water
bubbling in the sauce about 30 to 45 minutes (see Tips below).
