The weather in Belarus right now is something else, ranging from +7 to plus -1, as in what now!! We aren't even in winter yet. Anyways this cold weather got me craving my country's dish PEPPER SOUP (one has to keep the body warm ooo). This soup is mostly prepared by Nigerians and it is one meal that is eaten by people of all tribes in Nigeria. I love the versatility of this soup. It can be prepared with different kinds of meats and fish, from dried to fresh meats and with different kind of leaves for additional flavor. The taste of this soup varies depending on your choice of meat or fish and also your supplement.
I was taught by my mum and aunt that lemon grass leaves goes well with goat meat or any kind of bush meat pepper soup while scent leaves goes well with chicken and fresh seafood pepper soup, this may vary for some people tho. I made this chicken pepper soup with scent leaves and also some bell peppers for additional flavor and coloring. Who doesn't like a colorful bowl of soup?(winks), when I tell you this soup was delicious, believe me!! Without wasting more of your time, may I give you a run down of the cooking procedures.
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Directions
In a cooking pot, put in the cleaned chopped chicken. Add in one stock cube, one tbsp of dried grounded pepper,fresh ginger, 3 gloves of garlic, a pinch of salt and 1/2 a liter of water and cover pot lid. Allow the chicken cook for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, open pot lid add extra Tbsp of grounded pepper, add extra salt to taste and add your pepper soup spices (I added extra 3 Strands of African negro pepper). At this stage you can add in your chopped bell peppers, extra 1/2 a liter of water and the last cube of Maggi to taste. cover pot lid and with cooker set on medium heat, let soup cook for extra 10 to 12 minutes......VIOLA!!. Soup is ready😋😊.
This soup is served along side carbohydrates such as yam, unripe plantain or rice. I ate mine with rice, as that was the only carbohydrate within my reach as present, most men prefer taking the soup alone, along side a bottle of chilled beer😉. I hope my directions were helpful to you....Thanks.
