There are different types of pepper soup such as; Goat meat pepper soup with assorted beef, chicken pepper soup, Cow Head, leg or tail pepper soup, fish pepper soup, the list goes on and on depending on the type of meat or fish used. Now this Hot & Spicy delicacy is one enjoyed by most people as an appetizer. Some occasions and gatherings are not complete without this savory dish. It’s really popular especially in bars and restaurants were people go to hang out. For this particular recipe, I enjoyed mine with Agidi (Nigeria’s jello like meal)…..Yummy!
