Very good! I lightened the soup up a little (less oil and meat) and it made for a great, spicy soup. Would definitely make it again!

The recipe itself was good. HOWEVER, it's not authentic. My husband is from Cameroon, Africa...so I wanted to make this one night as a surprise for him...and he didn't even recognize what it was. I asked my sister-in-law over the following weekend to show me how to make real egusi soup...and it's NOTHING like this recipe.

Call me crazy but collard greens work better than spinach with this recipe. This was GREAT. My husband's parents are from Liberia and they are big fans.

The use of pumkin seeds can be a useful substitute if Melon Seeds are not available, enabling an approximation of the flavour of this dish.

This recipe was good but not that good, and i liked that it was different but i probably wouldnt make it again because it wasnt good enough to explain the calories

I found this recipe through Allrecipe's Kwanzaa recommendations, and it was superb. My family had our "Karamu" early, and out of the 6 courses, this soup really stood out. I made a half recipe, and it easily served 6 people. I honestly wouldn't change a thing, delicious!

This recipe really satisfies my craving for diversness in cuisine. It tastes simply wonderful and I would love to see more recipes native to the African continent!

It's a very nice soup if you're entertaining a number of people. It's unique, filled with all kinds of good stuff and very, very, very rich. It almost has a "bisque" quality to it, but "nutty" as well. I used fresh crab, which made it tiring to make -- and as careful as we were in taking the meat out of the shell, we still found shell bits in our soup. My mistake was trying to eat the entire recipe over the course of a number of consecutive days. It's way too rich to try to eat it that way. Again, highly recommended to give to people as a one course appetizer at a party.

Absolutely fantastic. I used mixed shellfish (prawns, scallops, mussels) and it was great. The pumpkin seed really adds something different to the texture.

Delicious. I cut the on-line recipe in half and it worked just as well. I also used chicken stock in lieu of water.

The spinach can be replaced by any type of green leafy vegetable, we especially liked this soup using shredded cabbage.
