What to Serve With Egusi Soup

Egusi soup is rich and substantial, so it is commonly paired with a starch that can scoop up the thick, seed-rich sauce.

Best pairings

A smooth swallow such as pounded yam, eba or another appropriate West African starch is a natural partner. Rice can work for a simpler home meal, though it changes the eating experience.
