How To Prepare Egunsi Soup

Egunsi soup is one of the soups that is mostly prepared and
enjoyed by the Africans especially in Nigeria. Several ways
can be used in cooking Egunsi soup. But the one am about
bringing you this evening will always give you the best
Egunsi soup you could ever imagine.

Ingredients Needed
Meat(any kind of meat will go, depends on your pocket)
-Dry fish

Prepare your meat. Get your stock ready. I assume you know
how to do that.
In a dry pot, pour your oil and allow to heat not bleach.
Add the diced onions in a bowl, make a paste with the egusi.
Not watery.
Just a lil water to smooth the ground Egusi pour into the oil
and fry
You will know it is done and ready when it begins to seperate
(forming lumps) and dry.
Pour in your meat stock Add knorr, Okpei, crayfish, pepper
and salt
Allow to boil for about 15mts add the meat and its
accessories.
Leave to boil for another 10mts add the leaf and reduce the
heat.
