Soups of Austin Pt. 4: West African Egusi Soup π² π African Market/Nigerian Restaurant (10805 N Lamar Blvd J, Austin, TX 78753) Egusi Soup is a creamy, nutty soup that gets its name from egusi seeds that both thicken and flavor it. Mine had both goat meat and spinach mixed in as well. Itβs often paired with fufu, a pounded yam with a texture similar to mashed potatoes, but thicker and more doughy. You eat this dish by taking pieces from it and then using it to scoop out soup as you then take a bite. Such an interesting dish that I was so happy to have tried! π·οΈ
