Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil the meats, stockfish and dried fish together with 2 knorr beef seasoning cubes, onions and salt to taste. Get a rich stock and set aside.
- 2
Place a clean, dry pot on fire and allow to heat up. Add two cooking spoons of palm oil and allow to heat up.
- 3
Mix the egusi with water and get a runny paste. The thickness of thick yoghurt is what you should aim to achieve. Not too thick, not too runny.
- 4
Pour the egusi paste into the hot oil on fire and that's where the work begins. Start to stir. You must keep stirring so it doesn't burn. Fry it till all the water you added to the egusi is gone. You should aim to achieve a grainy texture like sand.
- 5
At this time, add your parboiled fried pepper and continue frying with the egusi for about 3-5mins.
- 6
Add the meats and stock into the frying mixture on fire, add your blended crayfish and stir. Correct seasoning if necessary.
- 7
Add your vegetables at this point and allow to heat up for a few secs. Stir together and turn off cooker.
- 8
Your egusi soup is ready to be eaten with any swallow of your choice.

Palm nut soup/ ofe akwu Palm nut soup/ ofe akwu
I love food lol but my favorite soup of all, is this beautiful palm nut soup. The flavor of the palm nut is indescribable and delicious 😋! The palm tree is just amazing that you can get wine from it and it’s no low class wine either! Palm oil is a must for a lot of Igbo dishes and of course the palm nut soup 🍜 is time consuming but so worth it !
