Egusi Soup

Egusi soup is by far one of my favorite soup to eat. I make my soup a little different from the usual way but I achieve the same results. My way is usually easy, fast and yummy!!! If you have been following my blog you would know that I am not a fan of palm oil, so I usually find substitutes when a dish requires it. Using tomato sauce gives you the same taste that palm oil will give to your food.  Try this recipe and let me know if you actually notice any difference. This recipe is dedicated to a devoted reader Megan, she actually asked me to post this recipe. Megan this is for you!!!! If any of you have a recipe request please let me know and I will put it up.
