Pepper soup

Nigeria · Sub-Saharan Africa

Short description: Pepper soup is a light but intensely aromatic broth built around meat or fish and a warming spice blend.
Ingredients: Meat or fish simmered in a spicy aromatic broth with chile, pepper-soup spices, herbs, onion, ginger, and garlic.
Cultural note: It often appears as a social bowl: hot, fragrant, and direct, with the broth valued as much as the meat or fish inside it.
Common misconception: The name does not mean only black pepper; the flavor usually comes from a broader spice mix and chiles.
