Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the Meat: Wash the meat thoroughly. Place it in a pot with chopped onions, a pinch of salt, and bouillon. Add just enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil and cook until the meat is starting to get tender.

  2. 2

    Add the Spices: Stir in the Pepper Soup Spice mix and the blended scotch bonnet peppers. The broth will instantly take on a deeply aromatic, earthy, and spicy profile.

  3. 3

    Simmer: Add more water depending on how much broth you want. Simmer gently for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the spices to penetrate the meat completely.

  4. 4

    Add Herbs: In the last 3 minutes of cooking, stir in the freshly chopped scent leaves (or substitute with fresh basil or mint). This adds a crucial bright, herbaceous note.

  5. 5

    Serve: Serve piping hot. It is meant to be highly spiced and watery, often consumed to clear sinuses or cure a hangover. Pair with boiled yam or plantains.
