Food is very important to every human. Food is what energizes us to be strong and go about our activities just like fuel (petrol) is used to power up the engine of a vehicle or machine it is how we humans eat food to energize our body and stay healthy. Eating food like Egusi soup would forever make you feel alright which I have discussed more on how Egusi soup is special to me.
I am a lover of eating swallow which when it comes to eating swallow Egusi Soup that is prepared with pounded yam is my special kind of food.
Egusi soup is made using ground melon seeds, mixed with a variety of ingredients, and with a small quantity of sliced vegetable leaves like Ugwu or ozizi leaves. Generally, in Nigeria, egusi soup is a special food because it can be found in any type of restaurant in Nigeria.
Whichever restaurant you visit in Nigeria, egusi soup is the first soup that would be mentioned to you or seen on the food menu simply because it is the most special food that everyone likes eating.
I do eat Egusi soup at my favorite restaurant/eatery anytime that I am too tired to prepare it myself. However, towards the beginning of this month, I prepared and ate Egusi soup in my house which you can take a look at in the recipe shared below 👇.

It is my mom who makes Egusi soup special food in my life because of how sweet she used to cook Egusi soup in the house. Back then if mom had cooked Egusi Soup every one of us in the house including our visitors would be demanding an extrapolated of Egusi soup.
It is also a special food in my life because it is rich in protein and prepared with a variety of ingredients such as assorted meat/beef, fish, and vegetable leaves. Generally, even with or without putting assorted ingredients Egusi soup usually tastes sweet when put in the mouth.
The reason why I would encourage everyone to eat this food called egusi soup is because the food is rich in protein, delicious, and good for consumption.
It is a very common food that is can found across the world both local and international eateries/restaurants sell Egusi soup to the general public because of its nutritional value which I would want everyone to eat the food.
Oh yeah, I feel like sometimes you just need a break from cooking, and heading to your favorite spot for a comforting bowl of Egusi soup is the perfect solution. It reminds me of those days when I'd come home tired from work and my mom would surprise us with a delicious meal from our favorite restaurant.
My experience with Egusi soup is similar – my grandma used to whip up the most flavorful Egusi soup, and it always brought the family together around the dinner table. Her secret ingredient was love, and it made every spoonful taste extra special.
As a health-conscious individual, I think it's important to choose foods that not only taste good but also nourish our bodies. Egusi soup ticks all the boxes – it's packed with protein, bursting with flavor, and a wholesome choice for anyone looking to enjoy a satisfying meal.
All the best.
