Omoh yesterday I prepared a delicious egusi soup, garnished with chicken breast, pomo, goat meat, titus fish, dry fish and okporoko (stock fish)--in addition to other essential ingredients like spicy (knorr and star), pumpkin leaf, etc etc.

Had a go at it yesterday evening and it was really good
Then I warmed it like around 11:00pm.

This morning, I warmed it like around 8:00 am; I would have frozen it in my freezer but I was expecting a fellow friend who'd told me he would be coming around so I didn't see the need for freezing it yet.

Now, this evening, I just remembered it when it was already 9:50pm--that's the thing sometimes with remote work; one could get engrossed in it sometimes especially if it's my kind that has to do with coding/programming and code analysis.
I just totally forgot

By the time I got to the soup, I saw it was almost starting to "foam", and I quickly put it on fire. After warming, it doesn't have the fresh taste it had anymore. Tastes a LITTLE bit sour and lacking flavour

Jewessgratitud3:


You're welcome dear.

You don dey call am dear?

Na your mumu too much! Egusy of all soups left in the pot with this harsh weather? 😡🤔 You will never get that taste back. Manage the sour soup like that.

The soup is NOT spoilt, just that it lost most of its taste.
See, married women are really trying o! Taking care of the home and kids with their husbands, and also attending to their works; they never seem to forget the foods in the pots like I just did. Any man that does not appreciate the labour women go through in order to tend the home needs to rethink. Not married yet, but I remember how my mom was always the keeper of the home and my dad the bread winner.

Concerning the condition of the egusi soup, next time you cook egusi, what you maintain is this÷
1) don't cover the pot completely. Half cover is advisable.
2) don't put or lock your egusi soup in the cupboard, let the pot be on top of your burner and where it can receive fresh air
By avoiding these will make your egusi soup remain fresh.

What you need is onion just slice it and add it to the soup. It works

jaymichael:
Add a little potash (kaun or akaun).
Second option, add a little baking soda also known as soda bicarbonate. Any of the option works.

correct guy!!!

Acidosis:

Discard it. It's gone forever. Before you follow the tips above, ensure you keep some money for some flagyl tablets. You'll need it. Thank God you work from home -easy access to the toilet.

We4all:


Use the 4K to prepare a new soup.

Lol. Can the 4K cook that soup?

You work from home yet you forgot you had soup in your pot just yards away. You must be a lazy mf no cap. Tech guys are kinda lazy so I'm not surprised. They believe sitting on their pc and working is more than enough while forgetting to work on other aspects of their lives. Na why most of them be nerds and gets cheated on the most by their women

Just get a piece of charcoal drop it inside and bring the soup to cook with it. The soup will be as good as new

Simply put one or two charcoal in it while you are warming it. It will remove the sour taste.

Try putting charcoal in it in while warming it.

😂 no be my mama tongue sha, English wey u sabi kilofida?

Manage no dey for egusi soup wey don foam, its poisonous. Now for the meats inside it you can do giveaway to ekuke wey dey your street. Next time, after preparing egusi soup, bring it down to cool and refrigerate it immediately. Sorry for your losses!

Using charcoal is definitely not healthy. People are really suffering in the hands of mama put.

🤨
Stop saying what you know nothing about....my grand mum used charcoal on a regular in the village.....guess what? Their life span ain't comparable with this 70 years old bus stop we are living now.

Go and marry young man

Just add palm oil and onion
And the taste will come back.

Maybe you dip your hand to steal the ponmo or chicken breast 😃

thymetraveler:


Thanks for your reply. I'll try the onion with palm oil trick.

charcoal is actually your best option. Works like magic. I've used it several times.
Thank me later

noblechoco:

That na myth. Dipping your hand in soup is dirty habit but it does not precipitate spoilage.

Egoveen:
Add squashed potato,condensed aloe vera,petrified onions and soured sugar..🍸🍺🍻🍷🍹🍶☕🍵🍼🍴🍨🍧🍦🍩🍰🍪🍫🍬🍭🍮🍯🍳🍔🍟🍝🍕🍖🍗🍤🍣

you mean potatoes shell?

Add little quantity of potash (Akanwu) and warm it very well leaving the pot cover open. Sorry your neighbours will be invited by the smell. A lump of Charcoal will help absorb the pungent smell, remove the Charcoal after words.
Next time after cooking Egusi soup, ensure you allow it to cooldown a bit before covering it. You can put the pot cover partially over it allowing it to vent off the steams. Then put in a container and store in the freezer.

Kobojunkie:
Try adding one or more of the following as you cook/warm it.

* Maggi seasoning or any bullion/taste enhancement of your choice,
* Palm Oil
* Pepper
* Bay leaf or Iru
* finely sliced tomatoes and maybe pre-fried(this is for those who don't mind tomatoes in their egusi)

Thank me later

Obviously, you no sabi cook

tomato makes egusi sour rapidly. Besides, that soup is gone. Owner should just learn his lesson jare

■ Tomato makes egusi sour rapidly. Besides, that soup is gone. Owner should just learn his lesson jare

I use tomatoes in cooking my egusi and experience none of what you claim. I have used my method to revive many soups so I can't agree with any of what you claim.

Add some potash (akawu) to it, it will become normal

So, your grandma adds charcoal to her soup? The poster talked about putting charcoal inside egusi and I said it isn't healthy. What are you hyperventilating about?

mariahAngel:


Chineke! 😳
It can't be!

Something must've gone wrong somewhere.

Did you place the soup inside the freezer freshly cooked immediately after it cooled down?

We must get to the bottom of this, before you guys give chicken a bad name.

I have been noticing that chicken always sour soup not once not twice
