How to Prepare Pepper Soup

ok depends ,  i only know how to cook the one with cat fish,
ingridients

fish or meat, or watever
grounded pepper,  u know the dry grounded ones
raw pepper,  i use rodo
ginger
garlic,  can't cook without that
bay leaves
black pepper
white grounded pepper, optional
maggi or knor chicken,  depends where u are they ave knor here so i use it
thyme, 
salts depends on you, i don't use salt because i would ave salted the fish immediatky after washing so i don't use salt
water duhh lol

ok u would ave washed the fish, 1st thing and salt it

cut the pepper into veryu small thin pieces, then  start boiling the water with all the ingridients i n it except the fish,  after the water is boiled  and u can feel the aroma, (lol) u add the fish, last thing,  then u wait for few minutes,  don't let it be too long because catfish if it bouls too much it starts breaking,  make sure u put lots of pepper thats the main ingridient, hope this info is ok though,

enjoy,

Pepper Soup is a soup that doesn't have any more pepper than many other African soups. It is usually made with goat meat, but can also be made with beef, chicken, or mutton. There are many ways it can be seasoned.

ure welcome,  queen nice one,  and how are u,  thanks for the comments and the fives??? hows your sis

I'm very bad at writing recipes but I know how to prepare the Yam one,  as well as the goat meat one.

I'm sorry -- I wish I could think in terms of ingredients -- I just happen to know what quantities to use and have never measured them.

Goodluck with these recipes anyway and make sure you post us some!

By the way has any Nigerian thought of coming up with instant peppersoup -- like noodles? People here go rush am.

Hurray Deltans [I'm one] -- we make the best peppersoup in the world.

I used to love yam pepper soup. And i want to eat it,  aww mehn,  Zah why u gotta do this to me.

Anyways i prepare pepper soup mostly when i or my dad  have a running nose,  it's easy, just pepper and soup! Whoaaa, you're done. lol

Okay, i don't know how to write it, but my dad says my pepper soup is good (duhh,  he can't say it's bad).

Come on now, that's a lie,

Hello,

There is no big deal in cooking any thing especially african dishes. It is just common sense, always add all the ingredients at once except vegetables which comes last.
Just go where Igbo women are selling food stuff,they will give you special seasoning for pepper soup.I don't really know their names, per boil the meat with small water and add all the seasoning, when the meat is done, add the scent leaves andm carry your pot down.
Food is ready ooooo!
Try it with white boiled yam or white rice.

Has anyone tried fresh fish pepper soup and white rice?
salt water fresh fish o, not fresh water fresh fish
it's like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  

I throway salute to all of una (Greetings to ya'll). Your recipes have got me all salivating.

I hope you guys don't mind me asking this question, but where is the best pepper soup joint that you know of in Nigeria?

@Maki
Darn!!! i ate it over the Christmas break when i came home, that thing is the bomb--y'all need to try it!
@ All the Deltans in the house--i salute o!! for the Urhobo people --"Urhobo wado!!!!!"
Abeg na who bin dey talk about ukodo? you wan make my head scatter!!!!! Ogwo dey always dey bam with yam, abeg, i go vex go African store go buy foodstuff, if na only banga i fit cook this Easter, with fish way i go fit afford, i still get one small starch for fridge--e be like im time don reach!
As for pepper soup--that's like the easiest soup to make, different tribes have different ways of making it. But for really good pepper soup you must have Efirin or Utazi--they add a special mint like flavor, i know the spices in my mother's tongue (roboje and tariko) i guess you can just go to the stores and ask for pepper soup spices--hopefully they know them, enough red (Naija) pepper, your choice of goat meat, lamb, fish or chicken. I always like to season my chicken and stuff before cooking (of course after they've been washed) season with some salt to taste, ginger and garlic, and some onion paste, if you've got any, and cook on low heat, so they can be properly marinated (add enough water so that the pot doesn't dry out) You can also add your Efirin or Utazi while your beef or whatever's cooking (i have dried efirin, so i add it early) when the beef/ chicken's becoming tender, add your spices, and leave all the ingredients to cook together for another 10-15mins, i like to leave the lead on the pot so that the flavors sit into what's been cooked. Talking about pepper soup's making me crave it now!

@ Zahymaka
Point duely noted, i'm half cast , my dad's Edo my mum's Urhobo, but it's the same Bendel when we go back to our roots,

I made some the other day with chicken and it was quite good, I used potato and carrot in mine as well for extra taste

Though I didnt' have any chili on hand so I poured in some chilli powder till it got a red tinge to it and it was about as spicy as it would otherwise be (lets just say it made a 15c day feel like 35c)
Washed down with a nice cool bottle of beer it was superb
