The Best Egusi Soup and Fufu I’ve Ever Had!
Hey y’all! Today, I wanna share with you one of the most amazing meals I’ve had — egusi soup with fufu! But before we start, let me say grace real quick: “Lord Jesus, we thank You for this meal. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen!”
Getting Ready for the Feast
This time I went ahead and poured everything into a big bowl — and y’all, my mouth is watering just looking at it! I have this little habit: even though my hands are already clean, I like to wet them again before eating. And afterward, I always wash them again because, honey, who has time to keep wiping down doorknobs every time, right?
Just look at this dish! It looks absolutely beautiful — and I already know it’s gonna taste amazing. Oh, but it’s so hot! I hate when food gets too hot like this, especially after reheating it.

Flavor Explosion
Okay y’all, this video’s gonna have a lot of slurping sounds — I’m just warning you now! But when the food is this good, you can’t help it. This egusi soup is everything! It’s got a little spice, a little kick, but just the right kind — the kind that hits perfectly. You ever eat something so good that you don’t even wanna talk? You just wanna sit in silence and savor it? That’s this right here. Straight-up bomb! Oh, and I didn’t even add any meat this time.
Wait—hold up, my battery’s dying... Okay, I’m back! I can’t believe my battery almost went out on me; that never happens! But today’s the first time.
The Art of Eating Egusi Soup
You gotta be careful with this, y’all — swallow slow, or you’ll choke! Just look at it! This right here is the best thing you’ll ever eat. And with egusi soup, slurping is absolutely allowed — the more, the better! I swear, that slurping makes it taste even better. You can feel all the flavors dancing in your mouth.
For real though, if you’re eating egusi soup and I don’t hear a single slurp — I’m out! Normally, once I finish my fufu, I stop and save the rest. I always freeze it, because baby, it’s way too good to waste!
Storage Tips
By the way, can somebody tell me the best way to reheat frozen fufu? I’ve got one piece left in the freezer and I’m not sure how to warm it up right. I’ve heard so many methods — some people say to put it in boiling water, others say microwave it. Last time I microwaved it and it turned out fine, but I don’t know who to trust anymore!
This meal is packed with flavor! I wish I could share it with y’all — it’s just bursting with goodness. I saw a YouTuber named Justine from Justine’s World, and she tried egusi soup for the first time with her son. She loved it! I was so happy for her. You know that feeling when you see someone enjoying something you already know is bomb? That’s the best feeling!
Not for Fancy Eaters!
Now listen, this egusi soup ain’t for the fancy folks, okay? You gotta eat this like a savage! I mean it! If you’re all proper and cute when you eat, this meal ain’t for you. I’m telling you now — it’s not! You gotta get messy, you gotta get down and dirty — like that Dirty South style, baby!
If you can’t slurp, lick your fingers, or make noise on camera, that’s fine — not everybody can! Oh, that spice just hit the spot! I see lots of veggies in here. I didn’t read all the ingredients, but it said palm oil, egusi (which is like melon seeds — don’t get me started, I’ll sound crazy trying to explain it!), spinach, and a bunch of other goodness.
A Genius Creation
I thought about making this from scratch myself, but I haven’t tried yet. Honestly, the fufu is what really fills you up — I’m stuffed right now! Whoever came up with this combo... pure genius. I know it’s an African dish, but the person who said, “Let me mix all this up and cook it for my family”? Brilliant! You gotta taste it to understand what I mean.
I’m the kind of gal — yes, I said gal — who needs flavor in her food. I can’t do bland, no ma’am! If it ain’t flavorful, my day’s just not gonna go right.
A Funny Little Phenomenon
I’m so full right now. But y’all know what’s funny? When I rewatch my own videos, especially when I’m editing, I get hungry all over again! I know some of y’all can relate!
Fufu’s kinda like mashed potatoes, but thicker. I don’t know, it doesn’t really have a strong flavor on its own — or maybe I just never tasted it by itself. But when you mix it with the soup? Baby, that’s when the magic happens! It brings everything together and makes egusi taste even better. And it fills you right up! Just look how much I ate!
Love Is Blind Moment
Oh! Let me tell y’all, I’ve been watching Love Is Blind! Season 3! Whew, that show is wild. And I just remembered why it came to mind — there was this Nigerian guy, and his mom cooked egusi and fufu for his fiancée. The girl was scared to try it! She didn’t even eat it right, and after one bite, she just said, “Um… it’s good,” and stopped!
I was like, “Girl! You don’t even know what you’re missing!” That food was probably fire! The whole family was eating with their hands — respectfully, too, very proper. Y’all gotta watch that scene, it’s everything!
Wrapping It Up
Alright y’all, I’m full — look at how much I ate! A whole bowl full, gone! I ate a lot. Oh wait, I just noticed a little burn on my hand. You ever have a small cut or something you don’t feel until you touch something spicy? Yep, that’s me right now!
Let me put my ring back on — I keep forgetting it.
Final Thoughts
Anyway, I hope y’all are having a wonderful day, because I sure am! I woke up, got myself together, and treated myself to this egusi soup — and honey, that was the highlight of my day! For real, it was the best part!
I also cleaned my jewelry today — got it all shiny! It used to be hard keeping my wrist piece clean, I don’t know why. I used to clean it every single day with that little brush and jar thing. Jewelers got those fancy machines that shake and vibrate — and when they pull it out, it’s warm!
Anyway y’all, go watch Love Is Blind!
Peace out! Peace, love, and hair grease! See y’all in the next video — bye bye!
