Egusi Soup

Egusi Soup is a rich and hearty Nigerian classic made from ground melon seeds cooked in palm oil with blended peppers, leafy greens and traditional spices. Thick in texture and deeply savoury, it is finished with generous cuts of assorted meat or fish.

Nutty, bold and satisfying — this is comfort food with substance.
