Many ways to cook Egusi Soup

Melon seeds/Pumpkin seeds popularly known as Egusi, is a popular traditional soup in Nigeria preferably cooked by the Igbos from the Eastern part of Nigeria. Egusi is a west African staple soup rich in fat, protein, and essential nutrients. It is particularly common in Nigerian homes because of it is very delicious and quite easy to prepare. It can be eaten with any swallow of choice – garri, pounded yam, semovita, wheat etc.

The melon seed, which is the main ingredient, is derived from the melon plant in the same family as squash and gourds. When cooking egusi soup, it best goes with any vegetable – pumpkin leaf, uziza leaf, oha leaf and my persoanl best bitterleaf  because though bitter, leaves a sweet taste in your mouth when you drink water.
