Steps on how to Prepare catfish pepper soup

  1. Clean and gut the catfish. Cut it into 4-5 pieces and set aside.
  2. Peel and chop the onion and garlic.
  3. Wash the scotch bonnet peppers and remove the seeds. Chop the peppers into small pieces.
  4. In a large pot, add the water, chopped onions, garlic, scotch bonnet peppers, ground crayfish, ground uziza seeds, ground utazi leaves, ginger, black pepper, salt, and seasoning cubes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once the mixture is boiling, add the catfish pieces to the pot. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the catfish is fully cooked.
  6. Turn off the heat and add the handful of fresh scent leaves to the pot. Stir the soup gently to combine the ingredients.
  7. Serve hot with some fufu, eba, or any other swallow of your choice.

Tips:

  1. You can use any type of catfish you prefer, but some people believe that the African catfish (also known as “clarias gariepinus”) is the best for pepper soup.
  2. If you can’t find fresh scent leaves, you can use dried or frozen ones instead.
  3. Adjust the amount of scotch bonnet peppers you use according to your taste preference. If you prefer a milder soup, use only one pepper instead of two.

In conclusion, catfish pepper soup is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold day or a social gathering. With just a few ingredients, you can prepare this soup in no time and impress your guests with your cooking skills. So why not give it a try?
