Pepper Soup

The fish pepper soup in Nigeria happens to be my favorite and I am sure that most Nigerians will also attest to this fact.

Cat fish pepper soup is damn easy to prepare coupled with the facts that it has healthy benefits and a soft-delicious taste.

This has contributed immensely to its rise in demand in recent years, it has almost taken the place of other Evening Recipes in most restaurants and bars

By the end of this page you would have known how to prepare the meat and catfish peppersoups, the Nigerian way.

Nigerian Meat Pepper soup

We have different kinds of Meat pepper soup in Nigeria, The most popular is the goat meat recipe followed by the assorted cow meat pepper soup (which includes shaki, pkomo, fresh meat, intestine, liver and kidney); we also have the cow tail recipe and several others.

Ingredients For Making Meat Peppersoup:

Serving: 10

  • 2KG of Meat (goat meat, cow tail, assorted meat)
  • 3 seeds of Ehu {Click to see}
  • 2 Knorr cubes (or maggi cube)
  • Sliced Fresh Utazi leave (just a pinch) (it adds a faint bitter taste)
  • Sliced Scent leave (about a handful)
  • Onions (1 big bulb)
  • Dry Pepper to taste (about a spoonful)
  • Salt to taste.
  • 1 sachet of Kitchen glory (beef seasoning) (
  • Crayfish (about 4 to 5 tablespoon full)

Preparation;

What you get here is a combination of cow tail, intestine and shaki (it could be any meat), note that it would be better to cut the meat to smaller bits

Set a frying pan on the burner, allow to dry before dropping the seeds of ehu. Stir and allow to roast for a couple of minutes until the outer shell are turning black.

Roasting the ehu stirs up the powerful scent that is an integral part of the peppersoup in Nigeria.

You can chose to roast a lot of ehu at the same time then grind and store the rest. De-shell the ehu by breaking away the hard outer shell after roasting; then grind with a blender or pound with a mortar and pestle.

Chop the onions to bits

Wash the meat and start cooking with just water and two cubes of knorr (or maggi).

You can start with the hard ones then add softer ones later. Cook till the meat is soft for consumption Add the onions, about 3 to 4 table spoon full of crayfish and scent leave.
