Egusi Soup

Rich, hearty, and irresistibly flavorful, Egusi Soup is a cherished West African delicacy made with ground melon seeds, simmered in a deeply seasoned broth of palm oil, onions, and traditional spices. This thick, nutty soup is generously loaded with tender pieces of meat, stockfish, and sometimes assorted offals, offering a bold, savory depth in every bite. Leafy greens like spinach or bitterleaf are stirred in to balance the richness, creating a nourishing and satisfying dish. Best enjoyed with pounded yam, fufu, or eba, Egusi Soup is more than just a meal — it’s a warm, cultural experience that speaks to tradition, comfort, and home.
