How To Cook Egusi Soup (the Caking Method) by vinegurl(f): 12:23am On Jul 13, 2017
Egusi soup is one those Nigerian soups made with egusi seeds, it is very easy and simple to make egusi soup unlike other Nigerian vegetable soups which involve long procedures. The two methods of preparing egusi include the frying method and the caking method. The caking method is what you are seeing above, also see here http://www.jotscroll.com/forums/15/posts/20/how-to-make-egusi-soup-melon-soup-.html how to make the frying method.
To make this soup within an hour, all you need to do is to add a little water to ground egusi, then mould into medium balls, the balls will form lump in the soup. This process doesn’t take much time. Other thing you may need to do is to season and cook your meat and chop your vegetables and keep aside.

Ingredients for preparing egusi soup

1. 400g ground Egusi (Melon seeds)
2. ½ kg of goat meat cut into medium sizes
3. 1 medium size Shaki (cow tripe)
4. 1 medium size smoked or iced fish
5. 1 head stockfish
6. 3 cooking spoons palm oil
7. 2 tablespoons ground crayfish
8. 4 piece scotch bonnet peppers
9. A handful of any Vegetable: bitter leaf Ugwu (Nigerian pumpkin leaves), waterleaf or spinach
10. 3 seasoning cubes
11. 1 small ogiri okpei, optional
12. Salt (to taste)
