Directions
This African Pepper Goat Soup is hails from Western Africa, but mostly Nigeria. So if your into spicy foods then you are sure to love this soup recipe.
You can substitute the goat meat for lamb, chicken, fish, tripe and or chicken gizzards.
All work well in this type of broth. I have tried all those meat’s and must say goat is my favorite by far, because it’s lean and has a very unique taste that I love.
I have learned to prepare several african dishes in my home over the years and have come to love the flavors from this part of the world.
Now I want you to be forewarned that this is very spicy soup so feel free to add less spice if can’t handle much heat.
It is made with a few ingredients that are hard to find here in Canada and so I have made a few substitutes.
The main differences with my soup recipe versus traditional african pepper soup is the type of pepper used.
Traditional pepper soup is made with a few ingredients that are hard to find here in Canada and so I have made a few substitutes.
Like I will use Kale instead of the bitter leaf in the soup, it’s quite similar and more accessible here in Canada.
Then i’ll add some fresh chopped chives in replace of the onions as well, so good. The main differences with my pepper soup recipe versus traditional african pepper soup is the type of pepper used.
Traditional pepper soups call for aka chilli or negro pepper. Which is not always easy to find, so I use “Scotch Bonnet Sauce” since i always have that Jamaican sauce in my fridge at all times and it works so well here.
I will make this soup when i’m craving something warm and spicy!
Try to get your hands on the “original “Maggi beef cubes” if you cannot find feel free to use “Maggi Chicken cubes or another brand that you like.
