Ewedu soup and tomatoes stew. Serve with Amala, pounded yam or eba. I like to blend with stew and it would be even better if you add cooked fish to the combination, that is - ewedu soup plus cooked fish from tomato stew, that is my best combination and that is how my wife does it. Also you can use turkey instead of the fish… Delicious!!!

Ewedu soup is usually prepared with edible potash (iru) and very few spices are added, you can still prepare Ewedu soup without potash. Ewedu is one of my favorite soup and I love the flavor the ground crayfish adds to the soup but I only use just a little (which goes a long way) in other not to overpower the soup taste but you can do you, just add as little or as much as you like and that goes with the melon used in the soup too. As the honorary kwara child that I am, I am ashamed that it took me this long to put this recipe up. We chose your recipe because my mother and grandmother also always used tomato base for beef stew. Sadly, my mother died suddenly a little over a year ago, and I don't have her exact recipe.
