Egusi Soup
A luxurious and nutty West African staple made from ground melon seeds, slow-cooked in a rich palm oil base with leafy greens and traditional spices.
Indulge in the king of Nigerian soups with our Authentic Egusi Soup, a dish that embodies the heart of African hospitality. We use premium, hand-picked melon seeds, toasted and ground to create a unique, curd-like texture that is both rich and incredibly satisfying. The soup is slow-simmered in a vibrant blend of red palm oil, locust beans (iru), and crayfish, creating a complex, umami-rich flavor profile that is truly unforgettable.
To ensure a healthy balance, our Egusi is generously folded with fresh spinach or kale, providing a boost of vitamins and minerals. This soup is a nutritional powerhouse—high in healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants. As West African cuisine continues to trend across the US, our Egusi Soup stands out as a must-try “superfood” dish, perfect when paired with Pounded Yam, Eba, or Fufu. It’s a bold, savory, and restaurant-quality experience designed for those who appreciate the deep, soul-warming flavors of tradition.
