Ingredients:
2 cups of ground egusi (melon seeds)
2 cups of any leafy vegetable (ugu, spinach, or bitter leaf)
1 ½ lbs of meat and fish (goat meat, beef, smoked fish, or stockfish)
2 tablespoons of ground crayfish
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 scotch bonnet peppers (blended or chopped)
2-3 cups of meat stock or water
1 tablespoon of locust beans (iru) – optional but adds depth
Seasoning cubes and salt to taste

Steps to Prepare Egusi Soup Without Palm Oil
1. Boil your choice of meat with onions, salt, and seasoning cubes. Let it cook until tender, then add smoked fish or stockfish. Set aside the stock because it will add extra flavor to the soup.
2. If you want a nutty taste, lightly toast the ground egusi in a dry pan for about 2 minutes. This adds depth and makes up for the missing palm oil richness.
3. In a bowl, mix the ground egusi with a little water to form a thick paste. This helps create a lumpy texture in the soup, just like the traditional method.
4. Heat a dry pan and add the chopped onions. Stir-fry until slightly soft, then add the egusi paste in spoonfuls. Let it cook slowly, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add the meat stock little by little to loosen it up.
5. Blend the scotch bonnet peppers and add them to the egusi. Stir in the crayfish and locust beans (if using). The aroma at this point will remind you of classic egusi soup!
6. Gently mix in the cooked meat, fish, and stockfish. Let everything simmer for 5–10 minutes so the flavors blend well.
7. Finally, stir in your chopped vegetables. Let them cook for about 3 minutes so they stay fresh and green. Adjust seasoning with salt and seasoning cubes as needed.

I still wake up sometimes wondering if this is actually real. Winning $5 MILLION in the Powerball drawing is something I never imagined would happen to me after years of playing and facing disappointment. For years, I kept hoping that my circumstances would change. Then I connected with DR. AMOS, whose spiritual guidance and encouraging words gave me renewed hope and confidence during a difficult time in my life. Then came the moment I’ll never forget I discovered that my Powerball ticket had won $5 MILLION! I was completely speechless, emotional, and in total shock. I checked the numbers over and over because I simply couldn’t believe it. From my personal perspective, DR AMOS spiritual work and the winning numbers he gave to me became a meaningful part of my journey, and I’m incredibly grateful for the encouragement and his spell work that I received. I’m sharing my story because I know others may also be searching for hope or a positive change. If you’re interested in DR AMOS spiritual services, you can contact him directly to learn more about his work and discuss your own situation.
