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!"
West African Food Everyone Can Enjoy
Egunsi Foods is proud to bring West African flavors to your table with options for every diet that your taste buds will love.
All Natural
Our soups and sauces are preservative-free and made with fresh, local ingredients. That means you’re getting all the flavor without any of the additives.
Vegan
Our vegan products are made from 100% plant-based ingredients. This means a lower environmental impact, and more veggies in your diet. What’s not to love?
Gluten Free
Our products are grain-free, meaning they’re gluten-free, too. The bases for our soups are made with real vegetables, no flours or fillers.
Dairy Free
Our soups and sauces do not contain any dairy ingredients, and are therefore 100% dairy-free. The creaminess of our soups comes from the beans and the cooking techniques we use - all plant-based!

Meet our founder
‘Yemisi - born in Nigeria, raised in New England, and currently living in New York - founded Egunsifoods in 2017. She wanted to bring to her new home in New York City the tastes and flavors she missed so much from her childhood in West Africa and encourage people to try food they might not have ever tried before. So many of her favorite dishes, however, took ages to make, so she started thinking of a way she could bring these authentic West African flavors to people’s kitchens in a snap. The result? The soups and sauces of Egunsifoods!
