Cooking Directions

  1. Put the peeled and soaked beans into a sizeable pot. Pour water to cover the beans and start cooking at medium
heat.
  • While the beans are being cooked, you can make the Ewedu Soup which blends perfectly with the Gbegiri Soup.
  • Cook the beans till they become so soft that they practically melt when you mash them with your fingers. This takes about 1 hour. You will need to top up the water from time to time but make sure the water is always at the same level as the beans. This ensures that you have just the right amount of water in the soup when the beans are done.
  • Mash your soft beans with a potato masher. You can also blend it with your kitchen blender for a very smooth consistency. We do not recommend you pouring the hot beans into your blender and then pouring it back into the pot after blending. And it is not practical to wait for the beans to cool down, blend it and then continue cooking!
  • When you are pleased with the smoothness of the beans, add the smoked fish, salt, pepper, crayfish, stock cube and palm oil.
  • Cover the pot and cook at medium heat for about 5 minutes or till the oil blends with the rest of the ingredients. This is when the oil changes from red to yellow.
  • Stir from time to time, so it does not burn.
  • Nigerian gbegiri soup cooked

    That’s it! The Gbegiri Soup is ready.

    We suggest you to dish your soup with Ewedu Soup, get the meat from your Beef & Chicken Stew and eat with Amala or any other Nigerian fufu meal using different bean flour recipes available on our website.
