This is actually my first time posting in this community but not my first engagement with the community members because I love reading and learning different cooking skills and styles from members of this community.
Today, I prepared a delicious chicken pepper soup which i enjoyed with white rice. So, let me give full details of how I prepared it as a vegan.
Ingredients
Chicken = 1 kilo
Pepper = 10 medium bulbs (though, you can add more or lesser to your taste)
Onion = 1 big size
Ginger = 1 medium finger
Ehuru powder = 1 teaspoon
Water = As desired
Garlic powder = ½ teaspoon
Aiden fruit = 1 medium size
Scentleaf = 15 sizeable leaves
Preparation procedures
Wash pepper, onions,scent leaves, ginger and Aiden fruit. Then, pound onions, ginger and pepper. Also, wash Aiden fruit and cut into 6 parts, also wash and slice the leaves.
Then, Wash the meat thoroughly with salt and water. Then, put in a dry pot. When I say dry pot, it means that there shouldn't be water inside the pot tho, the pot may be wet, please don't add any water to the meat. Then, add pepper, pounded onions and ginger, salt and Aiden fruit. Stir and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Or base on the quantity of meat, the water that may come out from the meat can even be enough for the cooking. But base on the fact that mine is just 1 kilo, the water wasn't enough. So I added water immediately as soon as I discovered that the water it produced was draining up. But I didn't allow it to drain.
After adding water to taste, I covered the pot and allowed it to simmer for more 3 minutes. Then, I added the ehuru powder and garlic powder. Stir and allow to simmer for more 2 minutes, then, I added scent leaves. I then covered the pot for more 1 minute and then bring it down.
Hope you're not salivating as you're reading about this pepper soup i prepared? Pls, I reserved small for you too. Feel free to come around. Lolz.
i enjoyed it with white rice and hot tea. But you can eat it raw or enjoy it with either beer, wine or soft drink of your choice
The taste of this pepper soup is too sweet. Though I didn't add anything like seasoning cube as a vegan. Do you know the secret? It is ehuru powder. Ehuru is our local ingredient made from ehuru fruit. It gives perfect taste to your food as well. Am in love with ehuru and garlic.
