WHY ARE YOU NO LONGER SELLING YOUR SOUPS AND SAUCES ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE?
Because our soups are perishable, shipping them safely requires insulated packaging, dry ice, and fast delivery — all of which make Direct to Consumer sales expensive.
Since launching our CPG line over eight years ago, we’ve focused on expanding into retail so customers can find our products more easily and at better prices. While retail growth has been slow, we’ve continued to sell online to meet demand — even at a loss.
We’ve now shifted our strategy to partner with retailers and online platforms that make it easier and more affordable for you to enjoy Egunsi Foods. For example, you can order our soups on Marley Spoon Marketplace for $35.96 (4-pack) compared to $69.99 on our site. This allows us to cut out extra costs and pass the savings on to you.

WHERE CAN I FIND EGUNSI FOODS SOUPS ON MARLEY SPOON WEBSITE OR APP?
Once you subscribe to Marley Spoon, head to their Marketplace section — that’s where you’ll find Egunsi Foods soups available for purchase. You can order just our soups or mix and match with any of Marley Spoon’s Meal Kits, Prepared Meals, or Marketplace items. All ingredients for your selected dishes are conveniently included in your box.
HOW ARE PRODUCTS PACKAGE?
We recently switched to a deli-style container — a new look with the same delicious flavors you love! When you order through Marley Spoon, your soups are shipped with ice packs in an insulated box to ensure they stay fresh and refrigerated upon arrival.
DO I HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE TO MARLEY SPOON TO PURCHASE EGUNSI FOODS SOUPS?
Yes, a Marley Spoon subscription is required and it’s free. However, you don’t have to order their meal kits or prepared meals — you can just shop the items in their Marketplace section, where Egunsi Foods soups are available, or mix and match with other Marley Spoon offerings.
IS MARLEY SPOON SUBSCRIPTION FREE?
Yes! Creating a Marley Spoon subscription is free — you’re only charged for the items you order. Please note there’s a minimum order amount required for delivery.
I ONLY WANT TO ORDER MARKETPLACE ITEMS FROM MARLEY SPOON?

WHEN ARE ORDERS SHIPPED AND DELIVERED?
Marley Spoon ships boxes weekly. Once you subscribe, you can choose your meal plan, delivery date, and time that work best for you. Simply select your favorite dishes and/or marketplace items 6-7 days before your scheduled delivery, depending on your location.
Please note that weather delays, particularly in winter, may impact these delivery windows and Marley Spoon or Egunsi Foods is not responsible for delays due to weather conditions or other natural causes beyond our control.
WHY DOES MARLEY SPOON NOT CARRY ALL YOUR SOUP AND SAUCE COLLECTION?
We’ve started with our customer favorite — Obe Ata, West African Tomato Soup — as our first flavor on Marley Spoon. As sales grow with the support of our amazing community, we’ll have the opportunity to add more of our soups and sauces to their Marketplace. Your purchases truly help us get there!
WHY IS YOUR OBE ATA WEST AFRICAN TOMATO SOUP USED IN THE SHORTCUT MEALS ON MARLEY SPOON?
Our soups are thicker than most American-style soups — they’re truly sauce-like and perfect as recipe starters for authentic West African or creative fusion dishes. That’s why Marley Spoon features our Obe Ata West African Tomato Soup in their shortcut meals! You can also explore more recipe ideas here on our website or get creative and share your own — we love to see your creation so tag us @egunsifoods on social media so we can re-share your creations!

CAN EGUNSI FOODS SOUPS BE USED AS A SOUP OR SAUCE?
Absolutely — both! Our versatile West African favorites are kitchen heroes, packed with nutritious ingredients and bold, warming flavors. Enjoy them as a soup, use them as a simmer sauce or marinade for proteins, or as a starter for hearty stews — staying true to how these soups are used traditionally. Check out our recipe page here for more meal ideas!
HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE THE COMPANY NAME?
Phonetically, it’s pronounced A-Goo(n)-See — with the “Goo” sounding like the beginning of “Google” and a soft “n” at the end. It’s not E-Gun-See. The name comes from a well-known West African seed used in the famous Egunsi stew.
ARE YOUR SOUPS AND SAUCES FEE FROM GLUTEN, SOY AND DAIRY INGREDIENTS?
Yes! All Egunsi Foods soups and sauces are free from gluten, soy, and dairy, making them a great option for a variety of dietary needs.
ARE YOUR SOUPS AND SAUCES ORGANIC?
No, our soups and sauces are not certified organic. Instead, we focus on using gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO ingredients whenever we can to provide healthy, nutritious products at an affordable price. Using organic ingredients would increase costs, and we want to keep our meals accessible to our customers.

ARE EGUNSIFOODS PRODUCTS VEGAN?
We launched with vegan soups and sauces in July 2017 and later introduced meat-based options in November 2020.
