Bene seed (sesame seed soup) can be cooked with or without green vegetables. Adding green vegetables brings in more nutrition and colour. Any green leafy vegetable can be chopped and sprinkled in
bene seed soup but my favourite for this soup are uziza hot leaf and green amaranth (Aleho). Some prefer the soup with ugu leaves (Fluted pumpkin) Others with washed bitter leaf. There is a post on bene seed soup cooked with uziza leaves. It was great.
The cooking method for bene seed soup is almost the same whatever vegetables you chose to add. It's easy, if you can cook egusi soup, bene seed soup is no different even though the taste is not the same. Egusi soup and bene seed soup may look the same but they have distinct tastes and are both nutritious especially with the proteins and vegetables added.
INGREDIENTS USED:
3 cups sesame seed
1 kg beef
1 stockfish head
3 medium sized smoked fish
1 small onion for steaming beef
1 tablespoon ground pepper
1 cup palm oil
1 tablespoon fermented locust beans
Salt to taste
2 Seasoning cubes
2 tablespoons ground crayfish
A handful green vegetables ( I used aleho also called green amaranthus)
BEFORE YOU COOK sesame soup:
Clean and get the sesame seeds grinded to powder form
wash and chop vegetables and set aside.
Wash the meats and stockfish very well
Wash and debone the fish and set aside.

2. Add the bene seed and cover the pot without stirring. Leave for about 2 minutes to boil well before stirring.
3. Add the locust beans and check for taste before adding the last seasoning cube with salt if needed. Leave for one minute and check again.

4. Now, soup is ready, you can add the vegetables and stir very well. Cover to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes or more depending on how you like your vegetables.
Turn off the heat and serve with some accompaniment or just get a spoon and enjoy the soup as a meal.
