Gluten-Free Nigerian Pepper Soup with Goat Meat

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Goat Meat (cut into chunks)
• 4 tbsp Pepper Soup Spice Mix
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 small Scotch Bonnet Pepper
• 1 tsp Uziza Seeds (ground)
• 1/2 tsp Calabash Nutmeg (ground)
• 6 cups Chicken or Beef Broth
• 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

1. 1In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the 1.5 lbs of goat meat (cut into chunks), 4 tbsp of pepper soup spice mix, 1 tsp of ground uziza seeds, and 1/2 tsp of ground calabash nutmeg. Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the goat meat is evenly coated.
2. 2In a blender, combine the 1 medium onion and 1 small scotch bonnet pepper. Blend until you have a smooth paste. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times.
3. 3Add the blended onion and pepper paste to the pot with the seasoned goat meat. Pour in the 6 cups of chicken or beef broth. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
4. 4Place the pot over high heat and bring the liquid to a rolling boil. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the goat meat is very tender when pierced with a fork.
5. 5Uncover the pot and stir in the 1 tsp of salt. Taste the broth and add more salt if needed, ensuring it is seasoned to your preference.
6. 6Serve the pepper soup hot in bowls.
