Eru Soup | Traditional Vegetable Soup From Southwest Region, Cameroon | TasteAtlas

Eru soup

Eru is a Cameroonian soup that is prepared with the eponymous wild plant called eru, which is ground or pounded before being stewed with palm oil, spinach, waterleaf, and either beef, crayfish, or cow skin. Water shouldn't be added after eru has been stewed, as the spinach will provide all the necessary moisture.


It is recommended to pair the dish with garri or fufu. This soup is commonly prepared and consumed by the Bayangi people from the southwest parts of the country.
