Steps for Preparing Pepper Soup with Intestine
- Step 1: You need to wash intestines before you can follow the guide on how to cook pepper soup. Most intestines are not clean when you get them in the market. Nobody wants to be poisoned, so please wash the intestines to remove possible pieces of ground, grass, and various ‘unclean’ extras.
- Step 2: Take fresh peppers and onion and cut them into small pieces. Add a little bit of crayfish and place them into a new bowl.
- Step 3: Take nutmeg pieces and remove them from shells. It is cool when you are blending them along with some Uziza seeds. Place this mixture into another bowl.
- Step 4: Prepare your scented leaves by cutting them into stripes after you carefully wash everything. Add some salt to them. You will need this later on.
- Step 5: Find a deep pot. Add water and the following pepper soup ingredients: 50 percent of your chopped nutmeg with Uziza seeds (from step 3), onions and peppers (from step 2); curry powder and intestines. Add a bit of salt and let everything keep cooking on the stove for approximately 20-25 minutes. Use high and later medium heat. If necessary, pour in more water because the products have to become soft.
- Step 6: It is time to add your remaining crayfish, the rest of the onion, pepper, and Uziza seeds. Add your stock cubes. Salt a little bit at this point and keep cooking until intestines become even tenderer.
- Step 7: Add the seasoning spices and leaves (from step 4) and pour in some additional water, if necessary. You can use low heat and wait for another 8-15 minutes.
- Step 8: Remember to taste your pepper soup with intestine and turn off heat when you like the flavor.
- Step 9: It is ready to serve, and you can eat it along with potatoes, rice, or plantain.
Homemade pepper soup with intestine is an incredible and delicious Nigerian meal. You know how to make pepper soup now, so prepare it and make your family happy. Just be careful with how much pepper you add, because it is easy to overdo with spices.
