Egusi and Ogbono Soup

What we know so far

Egusi and ogbono soup is the old Igbo two-in-one: ground melon seed and ground wild mango seed cooked together in one pot with palm oil, crayfish, assorted meat, stockfish and dry fish and a little bitter leaf, so the soup has the body of egusi and the draw of ogbono at once. It is not the same as cooking the two soups separately and mixing them in the bowl. It has become rare, a soup people remember from their parents' house, and cooks who make it want to save it from disappearing. Eaten with eba, pounded yam, semolina or akpu.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
