In a large pot, combine the sliced onion, blended onion, grated ginger, grated garlic, habanero pepper, and blended ingredients (if using). Add the smoked tilapia, dried catfish (if using), herring powder, all-purpose seasoning, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes to create a flavorful stock.

Add the chopped okra to the simmering stock. If using, add the bicarbonate of soda to help enhance the okra's natural sliminess. Stir gently and cook for about 5-7 minutes.

Add the chopped spinach to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The smoked tilapia should provide a good amount of saltiness.
