Chilli for Garnishing
Bouillon or Seasoning Cubes
Salt

Ingredients for the Pepper Soup Mix:

1 big Onion
5 Garlic Cloves
Ginger
6-8 Ehu seeds (Calabash Nutmeg)
1.5 tbsp Black Pepper
4 tbsp Pepper Soup Spice
Scotch Bonnet Pepper
Paprika Pepper
Water

Method of preparation:

The first step is to wash your meats thoroughly, then transfer them into a pot. Remember to boil parts like Kidney, Liver, Heart separately. Do not add any water.
Next, add blended/Chopped Garlic, Onions, and Ginger. Also, add the seasoning cubes and salt to taste.
Place on medium heat and allow the meats to sweat out their moisture and absorb the spices and onions. This should take 13-15 minutes.
Then add enough water to cook the meats and leave to cook till soft.
You’ll need to have at least 5 cups of meat stock by the time the meats are cooked.
When the meats are soft, add the Chopped or blended Scotch Bonnet and Cayenne pepper.
If you used coarsely blended instead of properly blended or Chopped Onions, it’s advisable to sieve your stick using a mesh sieve as you’ll end up with particles in your Pepper soup. I don’t mind mine having particles so I didn’t bother.
Then add the Black Pepper, combine and cook for 2 minutes.
Add then the Pepper soup Spice. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. You may need to add some more water if your pepper soup tastes too concentrated.
And the chopped Basil, Efinrin, or Utazi leaves, then, switch the heat off and leave to simmer with the residual heat for 2-3 minutes.
Your Assorted Meat Pepper Soup is ready to be eaten.
It is best served with a lot of cold water or a refreshing beverage.
