Immerse yourself in the rich and nourishing flavors of West Africa with Ellesu’s freshly frozen Vegetable Soup, popularly known as Edikaikong. This traditional Nigerian dish is a delightful medley of fresh vegetables and aromatic spices, crafted to bring the authentic taste of Nigerian home cooking to your table.

Edikaikong is a beloved staple of Nigerian cuisine, originating from the Efik and Ibibio people of southern Nigeria. Our version of this hearty soup starts with a vibrant mix of fresh, leafy greens such as waterleaf and ugu (fluted pumpkin leaves). These vegetables are finely chopped and simmered to perfection, preserving their natural nutrients and flavors.

Complementing the greens is a rich array of ingredients including tender meat, succulent fish, and snails, each piece meticulously prepared to enhance the overall flavor of the soup. The addition of crayfish and periwinkles adds a delightful seafood essence, elevating the dish to new heights of culinary excellence.

Infused with a blend of traditional Nigerian spices and seasonings, Ellesu’s Edikaikong boasts a depth of flavor that is both robust and comforting. The aromatic combination of onions, garlic, and local spices creates a savory broth that ties all the ingredients together, resulting in a soup that is both nutritious and delicious.

Ellesu’s freshly frozen Edikaikong offers the perfect balance of convenience and authenticity. Ready to heat and serve, this vegetable soup is ideal for busy weeknights, family dinners, or whenever you crave a taste of home-cooked Nigerian goodness. Enjoy it on its own, or pair it with fufu, pounded yam, or steamed rice for a complete, satisfying meal.

Experience the wholesome, rich flavors of Nigeria with Ellesu’s Edikaikong – a celebration of tradition, nutrition, and exceptional taste in every bite.
