Egusi Soup is a traditional, very nutritious soup popular in southern Nigerian states and across West Africa. It is a one-pot soup whose main ingredient is ground Egusi (melon seeds) combined with various spices, meats, and vegetables (optional). The main ingredients are ground Egusi seeds combined with palm oil, onions, hot pepper, smoked dried fish, and meats (such as goat or cow meat, stock fish, snail meat, etc.). The combination of ingredients depends on the person making the soup. The finished soup is spicy, sometimes thick, and very delicious and flavorful ~ Dr. Tom’s Foodies 

Key Ingredients: It is made from a blend of melon seeds (derived from a plant in the squash and gourd family), peppers, leafy vegetables, and meat.

Cultural Significance: High in fat, protein, and essential nutrients, it is a staple dish particularly popular in Southern Nigeria, where it is famously paired/eaten with pounded yam, semolina, or garri.
