Egusi-Peppersoup or Egusi without oil, as some like to call it, comes from the Delta State in Nigeria and is quite common among Urhobos.
This delicacy is a combination of the regular Egusi and Peppersoup ingredients, creating one of the best soup experiences you can have.
The production process is simple, and the ingredients are available at a local market near you.
