this is the type of egusi tutorial I was looking for!! My parents are Igbo and they never added onions or tomatoes to the soup, so when I was searching for a tutorial, I was very confused. But alas, I found yours and this is exactly how my mother made it. I'm sooo excited!
This brings great memories :) My mum calls it emergency soup ooh, whenever we can't decide between egusi and ogbono soup. Thanks for reviving this great soup. You are awesome!!!!!!!
My mom did cook this soup for us sometimes. Yes I enjoy eating egwusi, bitter leaf and ogbono. Flo I definitely agree with you that this soup would be going into extinction. The soup looks delicious and yummy. Thank you for sharing this video.
@@FloChinyere I definitely agree with you. I love it. Unfortunately we just cooked egwusi soup yesterday. I. will definitely make this soup combo really soon.
This is the only way we Cameroonians cook ogbono soup. I remember making it once in Uni and my Yoruba friends were so surprised that I mix ogbono and egusi. They ate it and till today always ask me to make it.
Flo, I cook this combo all the time in my house. I did not learn it from my mum or Grandma as they never made it. It just came to me after I got married (20 something years ago) as I liked ordering egusi and ogbono soup (mix half and half) whenever I go out to eat, so I figured one day why don't I cook a concoction of both and it worked. Never knew it was an old Igbo recipe, but as they say "necessity is the mother of invention!" 😁
That’s how Cameroonians cook ogbono soup. They use uziza preferably. But they could also use Ugu or bitter leaf. They also cook it in onepot. Add ogbono after egusi is done.
I don't think I am from the olden days at 29, but we cooked this soup a lot, and it was our favourite(my dad and I). But like u said, no body talks about it again. I think I should make ofe egwusi n'ogbono again. Thanks for the reminder, aunty Flo
I remember it when I lived in Port Harcourt and in boarding school. Yes I am from the olden days ooo, I will be cooking it today with ogasi leaves to eat with yellow garri.
Making this right now, I just said let me check if it’s on RUclips and lo and behold the one and Only Flo has a recipe 💃🏽( am not surprised) . I ve liked without even watching. God bless you sis. Yes my MUM always makes this now I am continuing in my own home
I've seen people order obgono and egusi soup together and I always tought it was odd but I never thought that they could be cooked as one dish. Very insightful. Thank you Aunty!
Yes, that's a common soup combo. But that one mixed in a plate after the fact tastes different from this one o. When you cook them in the same pot, there's this fusion that creates a whole new taste. You are welcome. :)
I eat this combo but served separately in the plate with swallow. I never knew it can be cooked togethet like this, i was just woowed. Flo always showing me the way, thank you.
Juliet please cook it together and you will see that that on-the-plate mix tastes different from this one. :) When you cook them together, they "enter" each other well-well LOL
I'm Cameroonian I cook this soup all the time, my favourite with swallows. But I add okazi instead, I slightly pound it in a mortar for extra taste and slime. Very delicious!!! 👌👌
Honestly, back then when my mum use to prepare this soup, it removes all smiles from my face. But recently I use to make it in my home cause hubby likes all this native mix too much; Egusi and ogbono, egusi and okro, egusi and cocoyam, etc, etc😅😅. Good job dear👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾
LOL @ removes all smiles from our face! The things that our Mums cooked in those days that we did not like, eh! Kudos to your traditional hubby, I hope he has made you begin to love this soup. 😉😉😉😂
Hello good morning my beautiful sister. You are really doing a great work here learning every day your wall thanks very much. Please I want to ask you where you got your dry blender I like the way it blend very well and quickly.
I'm a river state girl my step mom is an igbo women she never taught me this and neither did she cook it. I'm saving this for myself. My two favorite soups combined this should be yummy
My dad does not eat Ogbono soup so my mum has to mix it with Egusi for him to eat. So I grew up seeing my mum make it this way and now that I am married, I also make it and my husband likes it. Thanks 👍
One of my favourite soup prepared by my sweet mummy 😊 am currently in my cooking this exact soup following ur step😂😂 cuz when my mum use to make it i nva used to be around 😂😂😂 thanks flo
Chaiii,yummyness wan finish me for this video, yesterday I cooked the same soup in exactly the same way, just that I added uziza seeds and ogiri okpei (iru) it turned out soooo delicious 😋 with poundo yam e de make perfect sense 👌😇🥂
Wow, this is new to me, I know some people order mixed soups at restaurants/Buka. But never knew it could also be cooked together from scratch. Thank you for sharing this ma'm
I love this soup so much. This is the only way my mom would get me to enjoy ogbono when I was younger, even up till now. This is because I don’t like ogbono on it’s own, I never have😂
Your presenting this combo soup of old has made me to remember when we cooked water leaf with stew. Also, we had bachelor's soup, that is, stew and egusi combined. You use it to eat both rice and swallow. You cook the stew, then you add plenty of ground egusi, but you first of all add water to the egusi and stir it well to prevent lumps before pouring it into the stew. Nice aroma, good for boiled rice and swallow, especially eba,. Cooked mostly by bachelors in those days when I was a kid.
Mum used to make this a soup when we were younger. We did not like it so when we realized that that you could make egusi on it's own and we loved it more, ogbono and egusi died a natural death. I will try to make this soup again after about 30 years
this is the type of egusi tutorial I was looking for!! My parents are Igbo and they never added onions or tomatoes to the soup, so when I was searching for a tutorial, I was very confused. But alas, I found yours and this is exactly how my mother made it. I'm sooo excited!
Nice one,sending this link to my elder brother in Turkey,he called me the other day day to ask for this recipe...so on point
This brings great memories :) My mum calls it emergency soup ooh, whenever we can't decide between egusi and ogbono soup.
Thanks for reviving this great soup.
You are awesome!!!!!!!
My mom did cook this soup for us sometimes. Yes I enjoy eating egwusi, bitter leaf and ogbono. Flo I definitely agree with you that this soup would be going into extinction. The soup looks delicious and yummy. Thank you for sharing this video.
There's something about the taste of those 3 ingredients in one pot. Great combo! You are welcome Chibuike!
@@FloChinyere I definitely agree with you. I love it. Unfortunately we just cooked egwusi soup yesterday. I. will definitely make this soup combo really soon.
You must be a foodie 🤣🤣

LOL delicious concoction! Nky, this soup is so old school eh! I love that you started it even without knowing about it.
Oh my goodness!
This takes me back a long way.
I feel like I’ve been starving here in the cold Europe as I miss this like mad!
I love cooking it seperately and then combining it
Aunty Chi now this is a rich man’s soup. I am definitely gonna try it with spinach or kale leaves.
My Mom used to prepare this soup, love the combo yummy
Your Mum sabi! 😍😍😍
This woman is very intelligent and can cook. See, you can see organization, measurements and skills. Some women are lost..I will marry this one ohh.
That’s how Cameroonians cook ogbono soup. They use uziza preferably. But they could also use Ugu or bitter leaf. They also cook it in onepot. Add ogbono after egusi is done.
Yesooooo i come from the Olden days. I love the combination always a delight. You’re soup looks super yummy and delicious 😋😋😋😍😍😍

I've never enjoyed egusi soup by itself. Best when mixed with okra or any kind of "draw" soup. Easy to swallow. Yum yum!
You dont cook that dough with onions?
Soup I meant to say
this soup make sense.
When is someone going invent the technology that will allow us to taste food through our computer screen? lool. This soup, woow, I have to try it oo.
Ask RUclips ooo! They should invent that already. ;)
Thanks Chi for this reminder. I used to enjoy this soup a lot as a child.
Well done Aunty Flo. My mom taught us how to make this soup. I still cook it and I always enjoy it. Is one of my best soup; it will not "die."
Amen!
Hi All Nigerian Recipes, is there any substitution for oziza leaves ? Thanks for blessing us with your cooking, I appreciate you 🙏🏾
Yes my beloved sister you refreshed my memory. I'm your loyal fans God bless you endless
Yes I have eaten this years ago. I am Yoruba so we didn't really cook it but I have Igbo friends who used to cook it. Will try this soon :)

Hey! I'm congolaise but I enjoy Nigerian food!
That's great! :)
Can't wait to cookk this soup. I remember grandma doing this as well. Only regret is that hubby won't try it cos he doesn't eat ogbono/okro.

My dad does not eat Ogbono soup so my mum has to mix it with Egusi for him to eat. So I grew up seeing my mum make it this way and now that I am married, I also make it and my husband likes it. Thanks 👍
Ogbono-Egusi is my children's favourite o. I always make it here.
Umu azi na a-like the soup because it slides down easier than only egusi. lol

Nice soup. Pls ma what's the name of your blender
I love this soup, just made a pot about a week ago. But the way we make ours is different but thesame end product😋😋😋
I love this soup so much. This is the only way my mom would get me to enjoy ogbono when I was younger, even up till now. This is because I don’t like ogbono on it’s own, I never have😂

My mum personally wont let this soup go extinct.. Rich and tasty😋
By the way that pot has plenty obstacles😍
Thank God for people like your Mum. Well done Mummy!
Obstacles owa mbe!

Really? Was that in eastern Nigeria?
Hi, you just reminded me of this recipe. I sometimes cook egwusi and achi .
I still cook it.... it's one soup I enjoy always
Mum used to make this a soup when we were younger. We did not like it so when we realized that that you could make egusi on it's own and we loved it more, ogbono and egusi died a natural death. I will try to make this soup again after about 30 years
Am gone try this.
I have to confess that I add palm oil to everythang am cooking and its delicious
Yes, palm oil has a special taste.
I have not heard of this combo soup before....
I love it and am going to try it👍♥👌
My Mummy, used to make it and I loved it. Still do, never knew that it was specifically Igbo and going extinct.
I’ve never seen this method before. Thanks for sharing
