People Are Loving Our West African Soups
“Wow, this exceeded my expectations. I thought, how flavorful could a "tomato soup" really be? This was incredibly flavorful with a deeply satisfying and comforting spice profile. I had this with homemade olive sourdough, a great combo.”
“The groundnut soup is delicious, just the correct spiciness. I look forward to trying all the other soups!”
“I can not get enough of these delicious West African soups. I’d never had West African food before. Now I have it about once a week!"

Meet our founder
‘Yemisi is a Nigerian-born, New England-raised New Yorker, and the founder of Egunsi Foods — a Harlem, New York-based culinary brand highlighting West African culture through the region’s most beloved, classic flavors. ‘Yemisi moved to the US from Nigeria as a teenager, attended UMass Amherst, and after graduating, began a corporate career in retail buying and financial planning in NYC. Throughout her schooling and early career, ‘Yemisi found joy while hosting dinner parties for her friends, featuring her favorite West African dishes — which soon turned
into pop-up events, corporate and private catering gigs. In 2015, ‘Yemisi decided to make her passion project a full-time career, and left her job as a financial planner to launch Egunsi Foods. After several years of careful development and market research through personal chef work, and multiple corporate catering contracts, ‘Yemisi debuted her first line of refrigerated, packaged West African soups at Whole Foods Market Harlem in 2017.
