Ingredients

2 lb stew beef (Cooked before adding to the soup; the source does not specify the cooking method.)
20 oz okra (Blended)
32 oz beef bone broth (One 32-ounce box; the source mentions Kettle & Fire Beef Bone Broth.)
1 red bell pepper
1 onion
1 tbsp palm oil (Optional; omit to save calories.)
crayfish powder (Amount to taste.)
chicken bouillon (Amount to taste.)
seasoning salt (Amount to taste.)
seasonings of choice (Use according to preference.)
40 g rolled oats (Per serving of oatmeal swallow; blend into a fine powder.)
water (Amount not specified; bring enough to a boil for preparing the oatmeal swallow.)
psyllium husk (Optional; add a little for extra fiber and texture.)

Steps

1
Blend the red bell pepper and onion together until smooth. Transfer the blended mixture to a pot and cook it down.
2
Add the seasonings of choice, chicken bouillon, seasoning salt, and crayfish powder to the cooked pepper-and-onion mixture. Stir to combine.
3
Add the cooked stew beef to the pot and stir it into the seasoned pepper mixture.
4
Pour in the beef bone broth and stir. Let the beef, broth, and seasoning mixture simmer together so the flavors develop.
5
Add the blended okra to the pot. Stir continuously until the soup becomes thick and develops the characteristic draw-y consistency.
6
Continue cooking until the okra is cooked through, then remove the soup from the heat.
7
For the oatmeal swallow, blend the oats into a fine powder. If using psyllium husk, it may be added for extra fiber and texture.
8
Bring water to a boil. Gradually add the oat powder while stirring continuously until the water is absorbed and the mixture forms a dough.
9
Pound or fold the oatmeal dough until it reaches the desired swallow texture. Serve with the okra soup.
