This Nigerian Goat Pepper Soup is spicy and full of flavor as it is simmered in a rich broth of goat meat and spices. 

I love Nigerian Pepper Soup and had it just a couple weeks ago from one of our local African restaurants. Along with Nigerian Stew and Egusi Soup which I have on this blog. I’m working on putting more African dishes on this blog now and do have one more for you to try this recipe for some Black Eyed Peas.

Also, I highly recommend serving this with Pounded Yam another African staple food.
