Egusi Soup, Step by Step

Good egusi soup starts with well-ground melon seeds and a well-seasoned stock. Fry your blended pepper base in red palm oil, add the ground egusi in small spoonfuls to form soft lumps, then loosen with stock gradually. Add your protein of choice, crayfish, and stockfish, and finish with washed bitterleaf or ugu. Simmer gently so the egusi doesn't catch on the bottom of the pot. We stock every ingredient for this recipe in our Soup Ingredients aisle.
