Egusi Soup with Semolina and Pounded Yam in Winnipeg
Rich Nigerian egusi soup made with ground melon seeds, leafy greens and palm oil, served with smooth semolina and soft pounded yam. One of Nigeria's best-loved soups, made fresh at D'lara Kitchen on Henderson Highway in Winnipeg.
About Our Egusi Soup
Egusi soup is one of the most popular soups in Nigeria and across West Africa. Ground egusi (melon seeds) are cooked in a seasoned palm oil and pepper base until they form soft, nutty curds, then finished with leafy greens for a thick, hearty and deeply savoury soup.
We serve our egusi soup with two classic swallows: smooth semolina and soft pounded yam. Both are perfect for scooping up the rich soup, making this a complete and comforting Nigerian meal for anyone searching for egusi soup in Winnipeg.
What Makes Our Egusi Soup Special
We cook the ground melon seeds slowly so they form tender, flavourful curds, giving our egusi the rich texture and nutty taste it is famous for.
Semolina and Pounded Yam
Semolina is light and smooth, while pounded yam is soft, stretchy and a little more filling. Both pair beautifully with egusi and are perfect for scooping up every bit of the soup.
