Egusi seeds are the fat- and protein-rich seeds of certain cucurbitaceous plants. Egusi is a special soup accepted by everyone in Nigeria, it is made by mostly every Nigerian family and it's a soup that we eat at least ones a week.
Egusi is a soup eaten with various Nigerian swallows( you could eat it with either Eba, wheat, semovita, pounded yam, semolina, or fufu), some people also eat egusi with white rice, although this complement is not usually used by most. The Egusi soup is cooked differently by the people of Nigeria, here is how our lovely subscriber Mimi made hers:
Cow tail
Stock fish

Egusi

Fresh pepper
