Goat Pepper Soup — Clear, fierce broth built on calabash nutmeg and uda

Pepper soup is a broth, not a stew. It should be thin enough to drink from the bowl and hot enough to clear your head. There is no tomato in it, no thickener, and no oil.

Method

Toast the spices before grinding
Dry pan, medium heat, 60 seconds until fragrant. Grind fine.
