This is how to make Nigerian pepper soup spice

Every Nigerian tribe has a special way of making their own pepper soup and these are all great and nutritious. I have the ones I really really enjoy and some that I enjoy even more. Potash in pepper soup spice is a NO for me. I only use it when I cook isi ewu (goat head).

I have tried different brands
of shop-bought pepper soup spices and discarded after just one-time use, because I taste potash in them. Some I throw away because they do not give that traditional pepper soup flavour. After many attempts and talking with pepper soup spice sellers whose product I enjoy, I came up with the best Nigerian pepper soup spice mix money can buy.

It’s delicious, it’s not too much, it doesn’t have overdosage as you can use more to thicken a little or less for that very water pepper soup that I so love. Some pepper soup spice sellers will not give away their secret ingredients for anything sha. With my special spice mix, I don’t need any other just yet.

I pounded these at home with a mortar and pestle, used a sieve to get out the powder and the rest is waiting for who will come and help me take to the mill.

 

3. After milling, store the powder in an airtight container and add to your fish pepper soups, assorted meats pepper soups, chicken pepper soups Etc.
