To test if the cocoyam have boiled long enough, insert a fork into one of them. The fork should easily slide in and out if the cocoyam is cooked enough.
Depending on how thick cocoyam skin is, you may be able to rub and pull off the peels using your fingers.
The cocoyam paste will thicken the soup once it’s almost finished cooking.
If the soup thickens too much and you want thinner soup, stir in water to thin it out.
