Egusi Soup Mix with Spinach & Shrimp – 12.7 oz
Details
Egusi Soup Mix with Spinach & Shrimp – 12.7 oz
Prepare West African egusi soup with a seasoned mix that combines egusi, dried spinach, tomato powder, shrimp powder, and chicken bouillon. Add water and oil to build the soup, with meat or smoked fish added according to your recipe. The supplier's current product page lists this pouch at 12.7 oz.
The ground egusi base gives this soup a different character from the brand's ogbono and spinach blends. The supplier provides a family-style beef-and-smoked-fish recipe, while additional meat can be omitted. Shrimp powder and chicken ingredients are already present in the dry mix, so omitting the recipe's meat does not make the prepared soup vegetarian or vegan.

Preparation and Storage
The supplier's recipe uses one pouch, 6 cups total water, and ¾ cup palm oil, with 2 pounds stew beef and 1 pound smoked fish added separately. Cook the beef before setting it aside. Bring the remaining water and oil to a boil, stir in the mix and cooked meat, cover, and cook about 5 minutes. Add the smoked fish and cook for about 5 minutes more. Follow current package directions for the complete method.
Follow the current pouch's storage and best-by directions. Protect the dry contents from moisture and close the pouch after use. Preparation quantities depend on the package and recipe, so keep the label available while cooking. A specific unopened shelf life has not been verified.
