Pepper Soup
Pepper Soup is a fiery, aromatic Nigerian broth that is treasured as a healing tonic, a party staple, and a comforting meal all at once. Built on a fragrant foundation of native spices including calabash nutmeg, alligator pepper, uziza seeds, and uda, this clear broth is simmered with goat meat, catfish, or assorted meats until every sip delivers warmth and depth. Pepper soup is the dish Nigerians turn to when the weather is cold, when someone is unwell, or when a party needs a flavorful opening course.
