Spicy West African soup with meats, chili peppers and nutmeg as the primary ingredients

About this dish

Peppersoup (or pepper soup) is a soup eaten by Cameroonians and Nigerians. This soup is made using various meats or fish, chili peppers, salt, scent leaves and calabash nutmeg as its primary ingredients. It is a spicy soup that has a light, watery texture. Despite its name, the soup is not necessarily defined by a pepper-forward flavor profile; the flavors are more complex, with nutty, bitter, woodsy, and floral notes, as well as warmth. It is considered a delicacy by some people in Western Africa, and some West Africans believe that the soup has some basic medicinal qualities.
