Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the goat pieces well and place them in a large pot with the onion, garlic, ginger, peppercorns, and 8 cups of cold water.

  2. 2

    Bring to a boil over high heat, then skim off any foam that rises to the surface for the first 10 minutes to keep the broth clear.

  3. 3

    Reduce to a low simmer, cover partially, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, topping up water as needed.

  4. 4

    Season the broth with 1.5 teaspoons of salt and simmer uncovered for a final 10 minutes to concentrate the flavor.

  5. 5

    Ladle the soup into bowls, finishing each with a generous squeeze of fresh lime and a scattering of chopped cilantro and green chili.
