There are a lot of Favourites food I have because I grew up been a foodie but joke apart if I am actually to chose, I will definitely be going for Pepper Soup.

That spicy taste it always gives is the perfect to compliment the cold months because trust me, it always have a way of warming the body and most especially increasing the efficiency of your immune system..

Well there are a whole lot of reasons why I go for Pepper Soup most especially in winter but I will be listing some of them.

• Health Benefits: The fact that it goes this health benefits in form of the medicinal spices can go a long way to deal with cold and not only that but also help in digestion.

• Warmth: Trust me, it always provide this warmth that you actually need most especially when it is during the cold period actually.

• Rich Flavour: It also has a lot of spices that are created to bond it and increase the taste.

When trying to check what actually makes Pepper Soup most especially the Nigerian version because I have not tasted another pepper soup outside the Nigerian Pepper Soup, I will say there are a lot but I will just mention two.

• Uda Seed (Negro Pepper): The first is something called the Negro Pepper, many of us must have seen it several times. It works in a way whereby it gives this peppering taste.

• Goat Meat or Catfish: Then the last one is the Goat Meat. I am a strong lover of meat and so I did not always joke with meat. Trust me the level of protein you will always get from either the goat meat is high which makes it healthy.

Well preparing Pepper Soup is not really hard as far as you have on ground all the necessary ingredients.

Ingredients

• Goat Meat or CatFish
• Salt
• Onions
• Water
• Spices
• Uda Seed
• Ground Crayfish
• Fresh Pepper
• Seasoning

• Preparing The Protein: You will need to prepare the protein which might be Goat Meat or Cat Fish depending on your taste. Wash them carefully and then you can begin to cut them to pieces

• Seasoning and Cooking: Then in a particular pot, you can begin to cook the protein with a small amount of salt, onions and other spices that you might want to add. You let it boil with water.

• Then you can begin to add those pepper soup spices like Uda Seed and crayfish so that you can have this deep flavour.

• Then you can add those trimmed fresh pepper and also more onion so that it will increase the aroma of the pepper soup.

• You can continue to adjust the soup for few minutes till it is done.
