Warm up with a bowl of authentic Egusi Soup at Oddysamm's Menu in Winnipeg. Ground melon seeds are simmered with leafy greens, palm oil, traditional spices, and assorted meats into a thick, nutty, deeply savoury soup - the perfect partner for Amala, Poundo, or Eba.
Egusi is one of the most iconic soups in Nigerian cuisine, and at Oddysamm's Menu we cook ours the traditional way. Ground melon seeds form a hearty, nutty base that we simmer with palm oil, peppers, leafy vegetables, and a generous mix of assorted seasoned meats.
The result is a thick, richly textured soup full of bold, savoury depth. Designed to be scooped up with soft swallow, our Egusi delivers the comforting, soulful flavour that defines West African home cooking.
Hearty and authentic, our Egusi Soup has become a go-to for Winnipeg's Nigerian-Canadian community and curious food lovers alike. Pair it with Amala, Poundo, or Eba for a complete meal - available for takeout, dine-in, and catering across Tuxedo and southwest Winnipeg.
