Hi Nairalanders!
Egusi soup is arguably the most popular soup in Nigeria and I have made it using 2 distinct methods : the tomatoes frying method and the soaking method. Please see below for details of how I prepared each type and let me know which method that you prefer

Method 1 : Tomatoes frying Method


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQo0fP-FwtA

INGREDIENTS
Egusi 3 cups (grinded to powder)
Beef
Stockfish
Smoked fish
Crayfish
Kpomo (cow skin)
blended Fresh tomatoes and pepper
Vegetable (ugu leaves)
Red oil
Seasoning cubes and salt
Water

Method 2 : Soaking Method


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtlGb3WDtMo

INGREDIENTS
Egusi 3 cups (grinded to powder)
Goat meat
Stockfish
Dried fish
Crayfish
Kpomo (cow skin)
Uziza leaves
Vegetable (ugu leaves)
Red oil
Seasoning Cubes and salt
Water

Kudos.


Sorry, it's unrelated but I have to say this. The inner part of the first non-sticky pot is fading. Time to change it. It's not safe again.

@op
I want to try that tomatoes type. Did u use any soup hardener like achi or offor ?
Again before u added the tomatoes, it's like you've previously cooked or fried it dry, which one?

Frying free method all the way. Frying reduces nutrients quality in our food

This is superB

Method 1

Nice one, method 1 appears to be winning this contest.

pocohantas:


We have a Food Section, just like we have Romance, Travel and Politics. It is good that the Food section is now getting traffic and publicity.

@Ama, I would go for the second.

@pocohantas, very good choice!

aktolly54:
Op next time you are boiling meat ,don't put plenty water at first. Reduce the light and let the meat boil on medium heat till it boils for few minutes and generate water itself then you add water later

You comment is noted but I will also suggest that you try this method of boiling the meat. Maybe the taste will come out just the same, if not better.

The point I am trying to make is that there is always room for learning and improvement in the kitchen. Change is constant

Proudlyomonna:
The egusi no just fine for face
If you wan cook egusi use better red oil abeg
Se Im go sweet like dis oo

Ok noted! Quantity of Red oil in soups is by preference, you can decide to add as much as you prefer in your own soup. As long as you enjoy it that way, it's fine.

chukzyfcbb:
The egusi doesn't look thick tho, looks somewhat watery

You can decide to make yours thicker, it's a thing of preference.

Emmanuel909090:
Nice

Thanks

everythinggirly:

gloryhomemaker:

No I didn't use any soup thickener.

Yes, after grinding, I boiled the tomatoes dry before using.

You may want to try out each to be really sure of which is easier to cook, your feelings may not be telling you the truth o
